Untitled is a 1963 by Carl Andre, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a grid of tiny, evenly spaced dots made with a typewriter. The dots form straight horizontal lines across a light background. The pattern looks mechanical, like a sheet of graph paper filled with punctuation marks. The artist used a typewriter to create this work, which is rare for a painting. Each dot is the same size, making the whole piece feel precise and repetitive. Next, check out Carl Andre to see how he turned everyday objects into art.
