Untitled
2012
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 2012 by Antonio Caro, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This poster has bold black letters spelling out a phrase in Spanish: *"EN MACO TODO ESTÁ MUY CARO."* The words are uneven and rough, like they were stamped or cut out. Underneath, there’s a row of green plants and smaller red text naming "ANTONIO CARO" and a place called "ZONA MACO SUR. MEXICO." The phrase means "In Mexico City, everything is very expensive"—a simple but direct message. The green plants at the bottom add a touch of color to the mostly black-and-white design. If you like this style, check out letterpress next—it’s the printing technique used here.
Antonio José Caro Lopera (10 December 1950 – 29 March 2021) was a Colombian conceptual artist who created works since the late 1960s.
