Untitled is a 1966 gouache by Lawrence Weiner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two big colored shapes on graph paper. One is bright blue, the other red. They’re simple rectangles with sharp corners, sitting on a beige background made of tiny squares. The blue shape is split into two uneven parts, like an L. The red shape sits on top, like a cap. The artist used felt-tip pen to draw the lines, then filled them in with paint. The grid behind everything makes it look like a math problem or a floor plan. Next, check out Lawrence Weiner.
