A Modern Icon: Jasper Johns’ ALE CANS ULAE 152

RedKalion is proud to present a meticulously crafted museum-quality reproduction of Jasper Johns’ ALE CANS ULAE 152. A seminal work that bridges the gap between Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, this piece transformed the mundane into the monumental. Originally executed as a lithograph with Universal Limited Art Editions (ULAE), this composition focuses on two cans of Ballantine Ale, challenging the viewer's perception of everyday objects as high art.

The Artist's Vision and Neo-Dada Legacy

Jasper Johns is renowned for his mastery of 'things the mind already knows.' In ALE CANS ULAE 152, his use of line and shadow creates a tactile depth that belies the flat surface of the print. This fine art print captures the intricate textures and painterly qualities of the 1964 original, offering a sophisticated study of symmetry and consumer culture that remains as relevant today as it was in the mid-20th century.

Uncompromising Material Excellence

At RedKalion, we believe a masterpiece deserves a presentation that endures. This framed art print is produced on 250 gsm (110 lb) archival museum-quality paper. The natural white, uncoated matte finish ensures zero glare and deep color saturation, preserving the integrity of Johns' palette. Each piece is protected by shatterproof plexiglass, ensuring your investment is shielded while maintaining crystal-clear visibility.

Premium Sustainable Craftsmanship

The 70x100 cm (28x40 inches) print is housed in a responsibly sourced black wooden frame made from premium oak and ash. Measuring 20mm (0.79") in both thickness and width, this frame provides a bold, contemporary profile that is significantly more substantial than standard commercial alternatives. All materials are FSC-certified, reflecting our commitment to environmental stewardship without sacrificing luxury.
