About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1992 relief print by Swiss artist John Armleder, produced as one of a set of sixteen works. The image consists of a solitary black form set against a white field, composed of narrow vertical lines that converge into a thicker central line, leaving the remainder of the surface empty.
Technique & Style
The work employs a binary palette of black and white, executed through a relief printing process that emphasizes crisp edges and a flat, unmodulated surface. Its minimal composition and absence of decorative detail align the piece with Armleder’s broader interest in reduction and the visual impact of simple geometric arrangements.
History & Provenance
Created in 1992, the print entered the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where it is currently held. It forms part of a limited series of sixteen relief prints that Armleder produced during this period, reflecting a focused exploration of form and material within his practice.
