View in a Room

Lithograph on Somerset paper

Without Title by Olivier Mosset, created in 2018, is a minimalist lithograph that exemplifies Mosset's exploration of monochromatic surfaces and abstraction. Printed on Somerset paper, the work is a large, square field of deep, rich color—an intense and dark shade that appears to shift subtly under different lighting, drawing the viewer into a contemplative space. Mosset, known for his commitment to reductive art, avoids any representational elements, focusing instead on pure color and form to invite reflection on perception itself. This piece challenges viewers to engage with the artwork beyond traditional subject matter, exploring color as the central subject.

Olivier Mosset (Switzerland, 1944) is a key figure in contemporary art, renowned for his minimalist and conceptual approach. A founding member of the BMPT group, his works often challenge traditional notions of authorship and originality. Best known for his monochromatic canvases and repeated geometric forms, Mosset has profoundly influenced postmodern abstraction.

Lithograph

Lithograph Lithography is a printing method based on the principle that water and oil do not mix. It can be used to print artwork or text onto paper or other suitable materials. Traditionally, an image was drawn with wax, fat, or oil onto a lithographic limestone surface or plate. Today, metal plates and other surfaces are also used in lithographic printing.

For me, the idea is that paintings are paintings.
- Olivier Mosset

A founding member of the BMPT art group, Olivier Mosset is a visual artist renowned for his monochrome paintings. The BMPT group was comprised of Mosset, Toroni, Parmentier and Buren – as a collective, they argued that the finished art project itself was more important than its original authorship, and often implied that they had created each other’s works; asides from this ambiguity, Mosset received acclaim for the hundreds of Neo-expressionist monochrome paintings such as Caroline, as well as his work as a founding member of the New York Radical Painting group. Mosset also received recognition for his ice sculptures created later in his career – known as Toblerones, these sculptures referenced the Swiss anti-road blocks created and used during the second World War.

Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
