Untitled is a 1964 by Emmett Williams, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This piece is five sheets of graph paper taped together. The background is a grid of tiny squares in pale peach. Seven red circles are scattered across it—some alone, some in pairs. The circles are bright and solid, like stickers. In the bottom right corner, someone wrote “YOU” in black marker. The circles don’t line up perfectly. They’re placed by hand, not measured. The paper has a faint watermark that says “Made in Germany.” If you like simple, playful art, check out Emmett Williams.
