Trademark 6 1962 — Fine Art

A solid band of paint holds a single word across the picture. The letters run in a flat tone, a mark that looks made with a brush and screen. This is Trademark 6 1962, a text painting from the pop art period.

The fine art print goes straight onto a nail. The print is made on matte paper, so the painted band stays soft and the word does not take on a shine.

In a hallway, the word sits high on the wall and you read it as you pass. In a study, the flat band keeps the wall calm while a desk and lamp sit below. From the doorway you see the lettering as one plain mark, and the paper stays quiet under the overhead light.
