    This summer, PAFA will feature one of Johns’ most sensuously painted flag paintings in a single-object exhibition. Flag (1960-66), now in a private collection, has been exhibited only once before. The author, director, producer, screenwriter, and collector Michael Crichton (1942-2008), purchased the painting from his friend, Johns, in 1973. It occupied pride of place in a collection that was extraordinarily well selected and full of major works by the leading artists of the Pop generation. Flag recently sold at auction for a record price and the present owners have generously allowed PAFA to give the painting its national debut.
