About this work
Overview
Created in 1967, this untitled screenprint by Gernot Bubenik is part of the Museum of Modern Art’s collection. The work presents a series of concentric shapes rendered in vivid, flat colors, emphasizing formal balance over representational content.
Subject & Meaning
The composition consists of a pink, irregular outer ring surrounding a solid red circle. Within that lies a blue band that frames a smaller, multi‑colored form reminiscent of a stylized flower, its petals rendered in yellow, green and pink. The arrangement invites contemplation of color interaction and geometric harmony rather than narrative depiction.
Technique & Style
Executed as a screenprint, the piece relies on successive layers of stenciled ink to build its flat planes of color. The lack of shading or gradation highlights the medium’s capacity for crisp edges and uniform tones, while the overlapping shapes generate a sense of depth through pure abstraction.
History & Provenance
Gernot Bubenik produced the print in the late 1960s, a period marked by his exploration of geometric abstraction and printmaking. The work entered the Museum of Modern Art’s holdings, where it remains accessible for study and public viewing.
