Untitled is a 1992 encaustic by Elyn Zimmerman, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a simple shape: a golden "V" on a dark blue background. The gold looks warm and slightly uneven, like melted wax. The edges of the V are sharp, but the center has a soft, curved dip. The artist used a technique where wax is melted and painted onto paper. It gives the gold a thick, almost glowing texture. Look up encaustic to see how this wax-based method works.
Elyn Zimmerman (born December 16, 1945) is an American sculptor known for her emphasis on large scale, site specific projects and environmental art.
