Untitled is a 1998 gouache by Elena del Rivero, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a collection of 100 small, square pieces of paper, each with a red rectangle in the center. The rectangles are made up of tiny, handwritten words that are too small to read. The papers are arranged in a grid, with some of them overlapping or torn, and are sewn together with metallic thread. The overall effect is one of intricate detail and texture, with the red rectangles standing out against the white background. The use of metallic thread adds a sense of shine and depth to the piece.
