Untitled is a 1997 acrylic by Agnes Martin, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows six flat, pale stripes stacked vertically. The top three are soft blues and greys, fading slightly. The bottom three are warm yellows and peaches, also fading. The lines between them are clean but not sharp—just a whisper of separation. The stripes don’t show any action or objects. They’re just color and space, arranged simply. It feels quiet, like standing in a bright, empty room with light shifting through windows. Next, look up Agnes Martin to see how she used similar ideas in other works.
