Untitled is a 2012 paint by Mary Weatherford, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a dark, rough surface with thick, uneven brushstrokes in deep blues, purples, and yellows. Two bright neon lights shaped like fishhooks hang from the top, glowing yellow and white against the dark background. The edges of the canvas look torn or jagged, and the whole thing sits on a plain floor with a small box and wires below.
