Untitled is a 1992 glass by Ann Hamilton, depicting poetry, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a long, narrow glass case holding an open book filled with small pebbles, all set in a smooth birch frame. Hamilton made this piece by hand—hundreds of tiny stones pressed into the pages like words. The book can’t be read, only looked at. It feels quiet, almost like a secret. If you like the way objects can tell stories without words, look up more works by Ann Hamilton.
