About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1975 print produced on offset card, resulting from a collaboration between Ian Hamilton Finlay and Ron Costley. The work is part of the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where it is catalogued as a printed piece rather than a painted or sculptural object.
Technique & Style
The piece utilizes offset printing, a commercial process that transfers ink from a plate to a rubber blanket before applying it to the card surface. This method allows for precise, repeatable imagery and text, reflecting the artists’ interest in the intersection of fine art and mass‑production techniques.
History & Provenance
Created in 1975, the work entered the Museum of Modern Art’s holdings through acquisition, joining a broader assemblage of contemporary prints. Its provenance is straightforward, with no recorded changes of ownership before its arrival at MoMA, underscoring its status as a museum‑acquired example of late‑20th‑century print practice.
