“Untitled (in 5 parts)” is an abstract artwork created by the artist Gunther Förg in 1987. This piece belongs to the Color Field Painting movement, a genre known for its use of large fields of flat, solid color spread across or stained into the canvas, creating areas of unbroken surface and a flat picture plane.
The artwork consists of five individual canvases arranged into two columns. The left column is composed of a single vertical panel divided into two horizontal sections: a gray upper half and a blue lower half. The right column features four smaller, similarly divided panels stacked vertically. Each of these smaller panels is subdivided horizontally, presenting paired color fields: (from top to bottom) white and black, yellow and green, gray and orange, and blue and red. The use of distinct, bold colors and simple geometric divisions characterizes Förg’s exploration of abstraction and color relations in this notable work.
