Untitled is a 1976 ink by Christo, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a giant, slanted pyramid wrapped in bright orange and blue fabric. The ground around it looks like dirt and gravel, with train tracks running nearby. The pyramid’s sides are tightly covered in squares of color, and the edges are slightly fuzzy, like it’s made of cloth or paper. The artist used a mix of printing methods—ink, screens, and even cut-and-pasted pieces—to create this. The train tracks suggest it might be set in an open, empty space, like a desert or a field. Look up lithography to see how artists like this one make prints with stones and ink.
