About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1988 print by Christopher Wool, held at The Museum of Modern Art. It features a white canvas stamped with black, blocky letterforms.

Technique & Style

The work was created using a patterned paint roller, applied repeatedly to achieve a textured, overlapping effect. The resulting smudges and gaps contribute to a deliberately rough appearance.

Subject & Meaning

The stamped letterforms do not form legible text, instead creating a jumbled, abstract composition.
