Untitled is a 1964 gouache by Lawrence Weiner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a simple circle made of bold colors. Inside, there’s a purple shape with red slices sticking out like petals. The circle itself is a bright orange ring, and the whole thing sits on a light background framed in green. The artist used flat colors and clean lines—no shading or detail. It looks like a basic shape, but the colors pop sharply against each other. Next, check out gouache to see how this paint works differently from others.
Lawrence Charles Weiner (February 10, 1942 – December 2, 2021) was an artist born and raised in New York City.
