Untitled is a 1969 ink by Alison Knowles, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a bright yellow background with a dark blue silhouette of a person sitting on a chair. Their face is blurred, and the image looks like it was made with a stencil or screenprint. At the bottom, there’s text that reads “TUNA FISH” and “COMPLIMENTS OF Star-Kist Foods, Inc.” along with a name—Michael Cooper—and the words “THE IDENTICAL LUNCH.” The painting mixes everyday objects with art in a playful way. The text hints at a performance or event tied to food, which was part of the original idea. Look up Alison Knowles to see how she turned simple materials into thought-provoking art.
Alison Knowles (April 29, 1933 – October 29, 2025) was an American visual artist known for her installations, performances, soundworks, and publications.
