Funding. USIA, 1987-1988

Mark Rosenthal, Curator of Twenthieth Century Art, organized a survey of Jasper Johns' work between 1974 and 1988 for the United States Pavilion of the 43rd Venice Biennale. Following the summer exhibition in Venice, the show was installed in Philadelphia throughout the fall and winter. Some 21 paintings and 10 drawings and watercolors were brought together through the generous financial support of the International Festival Fund for U.S. Artists, the Bohen Foundation, and an indemnity from the Federal Council on the Arts and the Humanities.
