DESCRIPTION

Publisher: Universal Limited Art Editions, New York



This work is said to depict the wall of Jones's studio, and on the far right hangs what appears to be Two Flags from No. 24. The seemingly floating vase is a work by George E. Ohr and part of Jones's own collection. In a work of the same title created in 1983 using encaustic (beeswax), a piece by Barnett Newman and others are also depicted in the upper right, making it a work that is at once autobiographical and a form of self-portrait.
