White Flag is an encaustic painting by the American artist Jasper Johns.

Johns's selection of the US flag allows him to explore a familiar two-dimensional object, with its simple internal geometric structure and a complex symbolic meaning.

[citation needed] The 1988 Christie's auction, selections from the Tremaine Collection, a smaller version of White Flag sold for USD$7 million, and was briefly the highest auction price for an artwork by a living artist, [2] until it was exceeded the next day by Johns' False Start.

[3] (Regarding the smaller version, note the difference in artwork size, exhibition histories, and ownership over the years of the two works, referring to the Met webpage for the larger 'White flag'.)

This smaller version was shown in photographs by Louise Lawler documenting the artwork owners' interiors and its appearance in the 1988 auction.
