Untitled is a 1974 charcoal by Agnes Denes, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a simple map of the world inside a circle. The land is drawn in thick, dark charcoal, while the ocean is just the plain peach-colored paper. Lines crisscross the circle like a grid, and the whole thing sits on a grid of tiny squares. The artist used graph paper and charcoal to make this look almost like a math problem. The map is upside-down compared to how we usually see it. Look up Agnes Denes to see more of her work with maps and nature.
