About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1961 lithographic print by American artist Ulfert Wilke. The work belongs to the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where it is catalogued as a representative example of Wilke’s experimental printmaking during the early 1960s.
Technique & Style
The technique reflects Wilke’s interest in the spontaneous qualities of ink and the tactile possibilities of print media.
Created with the lithographic process, the image was produced by applying pigment directly onto a flat limestone surface and then transferring it to paper under pressure. This method permits variations in ink thickness, resulting in the uneven, fluid marks that characterize the piece. The technique reflects Wilke’s interest in the spontaneous qualities of ink and the tactile possibilities of print media.
History & Provenance
After its completion in 1961, the lithograph entered the Museum of Modern Art’s collection, where it has been retained as part of the institution’s holdings of mid‑century American prints. No further exhibition history or prior ownership is recorded in the museum’s accession files.
