Untitled is a 1978 ink by Don Eddy, depicting drinking glass, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a grid of shiny hubcaps, each one reflecting a tiny slice of a city street—windows, trees, even a traffic light. Eddy made this in 1978, when most artists were painting feelings or ideas. He just liked how light bounces off metal. The reflections are so sharp you can almost read the signs in them, but they’re all mixed up, like a puzzle. If you like how everyday objects can look strange and perfect at the same time, look up *lithography*.
