About this work

Overview

Created in 1963, this screenprint titled Untitled is a work by English artist Richard Hamilton, whose practice spanned painting, collage and early pop‑art experimentation. The piece is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where it is displayed among other mid‑century graphic works.

Technique & Style

The composition consists of a dense network of geometric forms—rectangles, circles, and jagged lines—arranged in overlapping layers. Bright reds, blues, greens and stark blacks delineate separate planes, while a vertical strip on the right side repeats a sharp zigzag motif, giving the image the feel of a fragmented schematic or abstract puzzle.

Context

By the early 1960s Hamilton had already established himself through seminal works such as the 1956 collage Just What Is It That Makes Today's Homes So Different, So Appealing? and the 1955 exhibition Man, Machine and Motion, which positioned him at the forefront of British pop art. Untitled extends his investigation of mass‑media visual language into the realm of print.

History & Provenance

The screenprint entered the Museum of Modern Art’s collection shortly after its creation, joining a growing assemblage of post‑war graphic art. Its presence in MoMA underscores the institution’s commitment to documenting the evolution of print media within contemporary artistic practice.
