Untitled is an etching by American conceptual artist Mel Bochner. The large horizontal work presents an interlocking grid of three-dimensional cube forms rendered in tonal passages of red, orange, and brown, exploiting the optical illusion of reversible perspective characteristic of Bochner's systematic investigations of form and space.
Signed and numbered in pencil.
American conceptual artist Mel Bochner uses powerful language in his prints to make the viewer think about how they ascribe emotions to things that have none. Among his most essential works are his Blah, Blah, Blah monoprints. The colorful monoprints are not only fun to look at, but carry an air of gaiety around the subject of fine art – something that is so often considered all too serious. Bochner uses the words Blah, Blah, Blah to make the viewer think about how they “ascribe character and feelings to things, even the inanimate, that have none.” In the case of the Blah, Blah, Blah monoprints, the artist seeks to incite a reaction in his viewers, and certainly the use of such color and such bold language will no doubt do the trick.
