Untitled is a 1991 graphite by Matthew Barney, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This small work shows a simple drawing of a tilted block with a wavy line on top. The paper is sewn into a plastic frame that looks slightly greasy. The words “hypertrophy, CINELINE” are scrawled in pencil at the top. The block and wavy line might be a sketch for something bigger—maybe film or sculpture. The greasy frame makes the whole piece feel a little strange. Next, check out Matthew Barney to see how he mixes art and science.
