Untitled is a 1999 gouache by Andrea Zittel, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two plain white objects against a solid red background. One looks like a folded piece of paper or a flat box lying on its side. The other is a crumpled, wavy shape, like a piece of paper balled up and then smoothed out. The red background is flat with no texture. The title isn’t visible, but the artist signed it in the corner. The objects look simple, but they’re placed carefully—one stretched out, the other squished. If you like this kind of minimal art, check out gouache to see how it’s made.
