About this work

Overview

This untitled aquatint, created by Swiss artist Thomas Huber in 2016, is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection. The print features a distinct composition against a blue background.

Subject & Meaning

The artwork centers on a red circle with an inner smaller red circle, emitting lines, and overlaid with the French phrase 'VOUS ETES ICI' (You are here). Adjacent to it, a green pole bears the letters 'L E S O I R'. The elements suggest a navigational or directional indicator, though its specific reference remains ambiguous.

Technique & Style

Executed in aquatint, a technique allowing for nuanced tonal variations, the piece showcases Huber's use of bold color contrasts (blue, red, green) and geometric simplicity to convey its conceptual core.

History & Provenance

Created in 2016 by Thomas Huber, a Swiss artist with ties to Düsseldorf and currently based in Berlin, the aquatint is now held in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art.
