About this work
Overview
Created in 2000, this untitled work by Paloma Varga Weisz is a modestly sized drawing executed with colored pencil on paper. It resides in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, where it is displayed among the institution’s holdings of contemporary drawing.
Subject & Meaning
The composition presents a woman's head and shoulders rendered in a series of gentle, green strokes. Her hair is gathered back, and her eyes look outward with a calm, somewhat detached expression, suggesting an introspective or contemplative mood without explicit narrative detail.
Technique & Style
Varga Weisz employs loose, gestural lines that convey a sense of immediacy, as if the drawing were a rapid sketch rather than a polished finish. The exclusive use of a soft green hue creates a muted, atmospheric quality, emphasizing tonal subtlety over precise rendering.
History & Provenance
Since its creation at the turn of the millennium, the drawing has been part of MoMA’s permanent collection. No further exhibition history or prior ownership is recorded in publicly available sources.
