About this work
Overview
Untitled, produced in 2014, is a screenprint on glass created collaboratively by the artist collective DAS INSTITUT, comprising Kerstin Brätsch and Adele Röder. The work belongs to the print medium and is part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where it is displayed as an example of the group’s graphic interventions.
Technique & Style
The composition is divided into three horizontal zones. A vivid blue triangle occupies the upper section, a central red stripe contains a dark‑colored pineapple crowned with spiky green leaves, and a black lower band bears the stark white phrase “QUIET PLEASE!” in bold lettering. The pineapple appears to rest directly upon the textual band, creating a juxtaposition of object and command.
