Untitled is a 1967 ink by Enrico Castellani, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a blank-looking canvas with faint, ghostly lines pressed into the surface. The marks are light, almost invisible, running in soft curves and straight lines. The whole thing feels empty but not by accident—it’s like the artist erased everything but the idea of shape. The trick here is the technique: no ink was used. Instead, the lines were pressed into the canvas, leaving a subtle imprint. It’s more about touch than color. Next, check out Enrico Castellani to see how he played with empty space.
