About this work

This is a simple black shape on a white background. It looks like a pair of underwear, cut out and glued down. The fabric is smooth, with no texture or folds—just flat black. The artist made this as one of six prints in the 1980s. It’s not tied to any big art group, but it’s bold and direct. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more work like this.
