Jasper Johns: Mind/Mirror, an exhibition simultaneously on view at the Philadelphia Museum of Art[1] and the Whitney Museum of American Art[2], celebrates Johns’ mastery of mirroring, doubling, symmetry and reversals across many mediums, including paintings, sculptures, drawings, prints, working proofs and monotypes.
