Untitled is a 1961 silver by Robert Watts, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This piece is a grid of 15 small, black-and-white prints stuck into a wooden frame. The top row shows the same man in a top hat, hands folded, with the words "Safe Post" and "U Ones" printed around him. The bottom two rows mix images of hands, locks, and safes labeled "Lockpost" with numbers like 3 and 4. The artist cut and pasted these images together, creating a puzzle-like effect. Some prints look like old postage stamps or security labels. Look up Robert Watts to see how he played with everyday objects in his art.
Robert Marshall Watts (1923–1988) was an American artist best known for his work as a member of the international group of artists Fluxus.
