This catalog for the 1993 Jasper Johns retrospective at the Leo Castelli Gallery in New York City (9 January to 6 February 1993) is formatted as a scrapbook of clippings and media coverage—and is, thus, a tribute not only to Johns's career, but also to Castelli's power in building that career for him. So let's call it a tribute by the New York art scene to itself.
