About this work

Overview

Subject & Meaning

Technique & Style

Walker employs screenprinting in black and white, emphasizing uniformity through identical panel sizes and a regular grid arrangement. The minimalist presentation on a white backdrop against a light-wood floor further underscores the work's restrained aesthetic.

History & Provenance

Created in 2010, Untitled is part of the collection at The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA).
