About the Item

This exquisite silkscreen by Ad Reinhardt (1913–1967), titled Untitled, originates from the landmark 1964 folio X + X (Ten Works by Ten Painters). Published by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford, and printed by Sirocco Screenprints, Inc., North Haven, in Untitled, Reinhardt distills his characteristic visual restraint into a crisp geometric composition, reflecting the austere formal clarity and disciplined reduction that defined his mature aesthetic at the threshold of Minimalism. Executed as a silkscreen on Mohawk Superfine Bristol paper, this work measures 20 x 24 inches. Unsigned and unnumbered as issued. Printed by Sirocco Screenprints, Inc., North Haven, one of the most capable American screenprinting ateliers of the mid-20th century. Artwork Details: Artist: Ad Reinhardt (1913–1967) Title: Untitled, from X + X (Ten Works by Ten Painters), 1964 Medium: Silkscreen on Mohawk Superfine Bristol paper Dimensions: 20 x 24 inches (50.8 x 60.96 cm) Inscription: Unsigned and unnumbered as issued Date: 1964 Publisher: Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford Printer: Sirocco Screenprints, Inc., North Haven Edition: D Condition: Well preserved, consistent with age and medium Provenance: From the 1964 folio X + X (Ten Works by Ten Painters), published by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art, Hartford Notes: Excerpted from the folio, This portfolio was commissioned and printed in an attempt to extend as much of the visual impact as possible of ten artists to paper and to make these prints available to collectors who might not otherwise have such a vivid slice of the artist. The dry surface of screening seemed to be most apt to translate the effect of their painting, both the flatness which is the unifying bond between the ten, and the insistance of paint on the surface of canvas so like the visible heft of ink on paper here. Samuel J. Wagstaff, Jr., Curator of Printings. About the Publication: X + X (Ten Works by Ten Painters), published in 1964 by the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, stands as one of the most ambitious and influential printmaking endeavors of postwar American art. Conceived under the direction of curator Samuel J. Wagstaff, Jr., the project sought to capture and translate the defining visual languages of ten leading American painters of the era—Stuart Davis, Ellsworth Kelly, Robert Indiana, Adolph Gottlieb, George Ortman, Larry Poons, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella, Andy Warhol, and Roy Lichtenstein—into original silkscreens. Each artwork was created as an autonomous work that embodied the formal, chromatic, and conceptual principles of its respective artist. The choice of silkscreen printing, executed by Sirocco Screenprints, Inc., was central to the portfolio’s purpose: its dry, matte surface and capacity for crisp, saturated color allowed for a faithful translation of the painters’ flatness, surface tension, optical effects, and graphic precision. Organized and published by a major American museum at a moment of seismic change in contemporary art, X + X marked a turning point in institutional engagement with editioned works, representing one of the first concerted efforts by a museum to commission an ensemble of original graphics from the leading figures of its time. The portfolio captured the pulse of 1960s American painting—from Hard-Edge abstraction to Pop, Op, and Color Field—offering both a curated snapshot of artistic innovation and an accessible format that expanded the audience for contemporary art. Today, X + X is widely regarded as a landmark in American printmaking, celebrated for its curatorial vision, technical accomplishment, and its role in defining the dialogue between museum patronage and the burgeoning print culture of the 1960s. About the Artist: Ad Reinhardt (1913–1967) was an American painter, theorist, and educator whose radical pursuit of purity in form, color, and meaning made him one of the most influential and uncompromising figures of postwar modernism, emerging at a moment shaped by the seismic achievements of Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder, Alberto Giacometti, Salvador Dali, Joan Miro, Wassilly Kandinsky, Marcel Duchamp, and Man Ray; deeply informed by these earlier breakthroughs—as well as by his peers in Abstract Expressionism such as Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, Clyfford Still, Jackson Pollock, and Willem de Kooning—Reinhardt developed a singular visual language that culminated in his iconic “Black Paintings,” near-monochrome canvases that push vision to its limits and helped define the conceptual foundations of Minimalism, Color Field painting, and later conceptual practices. A fierce intellectual, Reinhardt combined a rigorous study of Cubism, Surrealism, Zen aesthetics, Byzantine art, and non-Western visual traditions with a strict rejection of narrative, gesture, and illusion, influencing subsequent generations of artists including Frank Stella, Donald Judd, Sol LeWitt, Agnes Martin, Robert Ryman, Glenn Ligon, Ellsworth Kelly, and contemporaries working across Minimalism, conceptual art, and contemporary abstraction. His work has been exhibited at and collected by leading global institutions, including the Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, the Art Institute of Chicago, Tate Modern, and major European museums, confirming his status as a central architect of twentieth-century artistic thought. Reinhardt’s enduring market significance was affirmed on November 15, 2018, when his painting Blue Painting (1952) achieved his highest auction price, selling for 2,772,500 USD at Christie’s New York.
