Painter Jasper Johns’ CT home to become artist’s retreat

Jasper Johns, America’s foremost living artist, has no plans to travel to the Broad Museum’s 60-year retrospective of his works in Los Angeles. At 87 years, Johns recently told The New York Times that “I am not going anywhere.” The Times reported that his friends say that he prefers to wake up in his own bed in Sharon, Conn., “amid the familiarity of his rambling country estate, to eat tomatoes and lettuce he picks from his garden, to know that he is no longer a guest.” The show - “Jasper Johns: Something Resembling Truth.” -mixes work from different decades, sometimes on the same wall. It will run through May 13.
