Untitled is a 1970 ink by Joel Shapiro, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows rows of identical oval shapes stacked in a grid. The shapes are all the same size and shade of gray, with a faint white border around the whole piece. The pattern fills the space evenly, like a repeating design. The artist used a printmaking method to create this. Tiny lines and textures in the shapes suggest they were made by hand, even though they look mechanical. Look up etching to see how artists like this create prints.
