About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1999 etching by German artist Rosemarie Trockel. Executed as a print, the work is part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It exemplifies Trockel’s interest in minimal, abstract forms and her engagement with traditional printmaking processes.

Technique & Style

The image consists of a dense array of slender, pink lines arranged in close proximity. The lines vary subtly in thickness and curvature, producing a gentle, undulating rhythm against a muted, off‑white ground. The overall effect is one of delicate texture and visual softness, with the pink hue standing out from the neutral background.

History & Provenance

The work was produced in 1999 and subsequently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, where it remains in the permanent collection. Its inclusion in MoMA’s holdings reflects the institution’s commitment to representing contemporary print practices and the contributions of artists like Trockel to late‑20th‑century art.
