Untitled
1966
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1966 by Ben Vautier, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This poster is a bold red square with black text. At the top, it lists a date and a location in French: *June 16, 1966, Fluxus and Art Total present at L’Artistique*. The biggest words, in the middle, spell out "PERSONNE" in uneven, blocky letters. Below that, smaller text says *no one will be admitted* to a theatrical creation. The words "PERSONNE" mean "nobody" in French—so the poster is basically saying *no one is invited*. The text looks like it was printed with old letterpress, where ink is pressed onto paper through metal plates. Check out Ben Vautier to see more of his playful, rule-breaking work.
Benjamin Vautier (French pronunciation: ; 18 July 1935 – 5 June 2024), also known mononymously as Ben, was a French visual artist.
