About this work
Overview
Untitled, created by Larry Rivers in 1965, is a mixed-media screenprint on board, incorporating a plexiglass overlay and collage elements. It is one of four works in a portfolio.
Subject & Meaning
The composition combines disparate images: a woman in a red and black dress, a 'BANQUE DE F' labeled green box, and a man in a black coat with a red collar, set against an off-white background with yellow and orange accents. These elements blend narrative and abstract elements, characteristic of Rivers' style.
Technique & Style
Rivers employed screenprinting for the base image, adding depth with a plexiglass overlay and textured collage from cut-out plexiglass pieces. This multi-material approach blends flat, printed imagery with tactile, three-dimensional elements.
History & Provenance
Untitled is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection, highlighting its significance within the emerging Pop Art movement of the 1960s.
