Johns Bronze

JohnssavarincanIt might seem at first glance like another poster child from my series of abused packages—(See Plinking and Plasma Pinching)—but really it’s nothing of the kind.

This 1960 painted bronze by Jasper Johns touches upon another way in which used packages (occasionally) find a new and useful purpose. This humble Savarin coffee can got a glamorous second life as:

A. a place to clean paint brushes
B. an artist’s model
C. a work of fine art
D. all of the above

(Another Jasper Johns bronze after the jump…)
