In 1969, Bernd Lohaus was invited, along with eight other artists, to participate in the year-long exhibition series Blockade ’69 at the René Block Gallery. In preparation for the exhibitions, the artists were provided with a floor plan and elevation of the gallery space and asked to design a work for it. Lohaus filled the space with elements made of wood and rope, some of which stood on the floor or hung from the ceiling. In the same year, Lohaus created his contribution to the rolling cabinet En Bloc (EB20). Untitled consists of individual stamp letters held together by a screw clamp to form the word LOHAUS, his name.
