“The National Gallery of Art is planning to become a destination for the study of iconic painter Jasper Johns. The gallery is set to announce today that it will be adding 1,700 proofs of Johns’s lithographs, etchings, relief prints and screen prints to its collection by the end of 2008. The works’ estimated value is in the millions of dollars and, if the fundraising is successful, the gallery will have the largest repository of Johns’s work in the country, the gallery said.”
