About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 2003 print by American artist Robert Mangold, created using a combination of woodcut and etching techniques. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The print features a tall, narrow green rectangle containing looping black lines that form two circular shapes and a wavy lower section. The textured background and white surrounding space add to the composition's layered effect.

Technique & Style

Mangold employed woodcut for the green shape and etching for the black lines, resulting in a precise yet subtly irregular image. The contrast between the two techniques contributes to the work's visual interest.
