Elevate Your Space with Jasper Johns’ Iconic 'Bread' (1969) on Brushed Aluminum
Experience a masterpiece of Neo-Dadaism with this museum-quality reproduction of Jasper Johns' 'Bread' (1969). Originally conceived as a lead relief, this work exemplifies Johns' fascination with 'things the mind already knows'—the common, the overlooked, and the everyday. By isolating a simple loaf of bread, Johns invites the viewer to appreciate the texture, form, and semiotics of an object stripped of its utility and elevated to high art.
Technological Innovation Meets Art History
At RedKalion, we bridge the gap between historical significance and modern craftsmanship. This fine art print is rendered on Brushed Silver Aluminum DIBOND®, a substrate that mirrors the industrial and tactile nature of Johns’ original 1960s experiments. The 3mm (0.12") thick base provides a rigid, durable foundation, while the horizontal grain of the aluminum adds a dynamic, shimmering quality to the composition. In this edition, unprinted white areas are left open to reveal the natural metallic silver effect, creating a striking interplay between light and shadow that enhances the 'crust' and texture of the subject.
A Premium Curated Presentation
This 70x100 cm (28x40 inches) Jasper Johns aluminum print is designed for the discerning collector. The direct-print method ensures vivid colors and a sophisticated matte finish, making it entirely glare-free under gallery lighting or natural sun. Key features include:
- Archival Longevity: Engineered to endure, maintaining color integrity for decades.
- Sophisticated Aesthetic: The brushed silver finish offers a contemporary edge to a classic 1969 composition.
- Ready to Display: A professional hanging kit is included, tailored to your specific fulfillment region.
