Untitled is a 1975 graphite by Mel Bochner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows two black shapes on a light background. One shape is a rough hexagon, the other a smaller, uneven piece. Thin pencil lines connect them to the edges of the paper, like they’re floating. The artist left a note in the corner: *"Study for Double Pentagon."* It’s a sketch, not a finished work—just shapes and lines to test ideas. Next, check out Mel Bochner to see how he turned simple shapes into big ideas.
