On March 3, 2017, Jasper Johns: Prints will begin a six-month run at the Belger Arts Center. Dozens of prints, covering 40 years of the artist's output will be on display. All the prints are in the Belger Collection, which was started when Dick Belger bought “Fragment: According to What (Coat Hanger and Spoon)” in 1971. Eventually Belger added Johns' first two prints with ULAE, “Target” and “0-9”, to the collection. “Target” and “0-9” were done in collaboration with the legendary African-American printmaker, Robert Blackburn. Belger continued to track Johns’ prolific print career into the 21st century.

There’s a spot just at the edge of the field, where the manicured and predictable meets the unruly. Here, things are a little less certain—problems arise more readily, and one misstep could leave you stranded in the woods. The artists in this exhibition, members of the ceramics faculty at University of Arkansas, represent a group of practitioners eager to seek the more difficult terrain.

Through vacillating positions, each artist approaches the old with their own state of questions, seeking to re-fertilize the soil, providing views into distant windows of uncertainty.
