About this work
Overview
Created in 2011 by Bill Jensen, this untitled work is a print that combines aquatint, drypoint, and etching techniques. It is part of the collection at the Museum of Modern Art, where it is displayed among other examples of contemporary printmaking.
Subject & Meaning
The image does not depict a recognizable scene; instead, it presents an arrangement of abstract forms and color fields. The composition invites viewers to consider the interplay of surface, line, and hue rather than a narrative content.
Technique & Style
Jensen employed aquatint to achieve broad washes of tone, while drypoint and traditional etching provide incised lines and textured marks. The resulting surface shows uneven, scraped areas where pigment gathers, creating a tactile, layered appearance.
History & Provenance
Since its production in 2011, the piece has remained in the Museum of Modern Art’s holdings. Its acquisition reflects the institution’s interest in documenting experimental print processes of the early twenty‑first century.
