I got a peek of the magnificent Jasper Johns retrospective “Something Resembling the Truth” at The Broad, which opens this weekend and will be on view through May 13. I urge you all to go online and purchase tickets to see what KCRW’s Edward Goldman is already calling the “show of the year.” Tickets are $25 but worth the family’s time, and even worth waiting in line to view – as I did yesterday with scads of eager art-lovers at the press preview. With lots of flags, typography, and some recognizable household items fastened to the canvases, even young kids will enjoy this big colorful show. Our full story will be published next week, but take a peek at some of the paintings on our Instagram page. And please follow us!
