Untitled is a 1963 paint by Richard Artschwager, depicting Womenswear, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a square board painted gray, framed in shiny metal. The surface looks like fake wood grain—flat, smooth, and a little too perfect. Artschwager made furniture before he made art. This piece feels like a tabletop or cabinet door, but it’s just paint on board. The metal frame gives it a cold, industrial edge. If you like how this plays with real and fake, check out other works at The Museum of Modern Art.
Richard Ernst Artschwager (December 26, 1923 – February 9, 2013) was an American painter, illustrator and sculptor. His work has associations with Pop Art, Conceptual art and Minimalism.
