About this work

This piece is a sheet of paper covered in rows of the word "red." The letters are typed in a grid, filling most of the page. The background is a pale yellow, and the word is printed in a light gray ink. The artist used a typewriter to create this work, repeating the same word over and over. It’s simple but feels deliberate—like a pattern or a puzzle. The repetition makes you notice how the word looks different in each row. If you like this, check out Carl Andre—he made a lot of art like this.
