Untitled
1980
From the collection of Victoria and Albert Museum
Untitled is a 1980 by The Drawing Room, depicting Stairs, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This poster shows three people on a set of floating stairs. The stairs are made of blocks in pastel colors—pink, blue, and white—like a child’s building set. Two people in light blue clothes are helping a third person, who’s wearing a long dress and a head covering. The background is plain black, and the text at the top reads *"Taking Steps"* in bold orange letters. The stairs don’t look real—they’re flat, geometric shapes instead of steps you’d actually climb. This makes the scene feel like a stage play or a dream. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum.
The artwork is a pictorial and typographic piece created in 1980 by The Drawing Room, associated with the production of *Taking Steps*, a comedy by Alan Ayckbourn. Directed by Michael Rudman and designed by Alan Tagg, the work features actors Dinsdale Landen and Nicola Pagett in a performance at London’s Lyric Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue on September 2, 1980.
