From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1965 watercolor by Claes Oldenburg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch looks like a quick, loose drawing. You see a few shapes that might be a person sitting at a table, but they’re not clear. The lines are wobbly, and the colors—mostly pale yellows, greens, and a little red—are smeared like they were done fast. The background is mostly blank paper. The artist used watercolor and crayon, blending colors in a way that feels messy but intentional. The signature in the corner says "C. Oldenburg," matching the facts.
