The artwork, titled “Untitled,” was created by the renowned artist Dieter Roth in 1978. It belongs to the art movements of Abstract Expressionism and Neo-Dada, and it is categorized under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork features a chaotic and dynamic composition, characterized by its vigorous application of paint in a variety of colors, primarily red, green, and white, with accents of yellow. The thick layers of paint appear to be smeared, dripped, and squeezed directly from tubes, lending the piece a raw and tactile quality. The presence of actual paint tubes and a mixture of media embedded in the work further emphasizes the Neo-Dada influence, breaking the conventional boundaries of the canvas. Roth’s innovative approach embodies a sense of spontaneity and defiance, capturing the essence of both Abstract Expressionism and Neo-Dada through its unconventional materials and expressive form.
