About this work
Overview
Created in 2012, this untitled screenprint by Anthony Nomorosa forms part of a series of thirty-one works. The piece is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s collection and presents a stark, graphic composition that combines black‑and‑white imagery with bursts of red lettering.
Subject & Meaning
The image functions as a protest poster, foregrounding economic disparity with statements such as “1% controls 34% of the American wealth” and “WE ARE THE 99 PERCENT.” Additional slogans—“OCCUPY DC” and “SHUT IT DOWN”—situate the work within the broader Occupy movement’s critique of wealth concentration.
Technique & Style
Executed as a screenprint, the work relies on high‑contrast monochrome fields and bold, sans‑serif typefaces. The limited palette of black, white, and red enhances visual impact, while the large, unadorned lettering ensures legibility from a distance, reflecting the graphic strategies typical of activist signage.
History & Provenance
The print was produced as one of a thirty‑one‑piece portfolio by Nomorosa in 2012. It entered the Museum of Modern Art’s holdings shortly thereafter, where it remains accessible to the public as an example of contemporary protest art.
