In the lead-up to its inaugural Houston edition at the George R. Brown Convention Center, Untitled Art is thrilled to announce the CAMH Commission Prize supported by Untitled Art—a new initiative developed with Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH), one of the fair's esteemed cultural partners. This prize was created with a clear purpose: to provide meaningful support to artists through a major new commission to be presented at Untitled Art, Houston 2026, or through a collateral venue during the fair week.
 
To make this prize a reality, Untitled Art partnered with Texas-based artist Vincent Valdez, who is not only one of the most vital and fearless voices in American art today, but the first artist to join the Host Committee for Untitled Art, Houston. In collaboration with Gary Lichtenstein Editions, Valdez has produced a limited-edition print titled It Was A Very Good Year (1986)—an elegant, urgent piece that draws from his continued exploration of the newspaper as both object and symbol.
