About this work

Overview

Kosuke Kimura’s 1973 screenprint, catalogued simply as Untitled, belongs to the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. The work exemplifies the artist’s interest in repetitive geometric motifs and the material qualities of printmaking, presenting a modest yet deliberate visual statement within the museum’s post‑war holdings.

Technique & Style

The composition consists of a series of thin, white bands arranged in a regular, arch‑like rhythm across a muted gray field. Beneath this ordered stripe pattern lies a coarser, uneven strip that suggests an opening—perhaps a door or window—through which faint interior shapes can be discerned. The overall effect is one of restrained repetition softened by subtle textural variation.

History & Provenance

The print was produced in 1973, a period when many artists were exploring the possibilities of mass‑production techniques for fine art. It entered the Museum of Modern Art’s collection at an unspecified date, where it remains part of the institution’s representation of mid‑20th‑century experimental print media.
