Untitled is a 1971 by Paul Sharits, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch is messy and full of doodles. A tower made of stacked pages is drawn in the center, with a ring at the bottom labeled "gummed side." Around it, there’s scribbled text like *"detach 1 page per day"* and *"a jewel of a year."* A tiny, stick-figure hand holds a "fine stone." The paper is covered in quick, uneven lines and notes. The artist seems to be playing with ideas about time and value—like how we treat certain thoughts or moments as special. The tower of pages suggests a year, with each page representing a day. Check out Paul Sharits for more of his experimental work.
Paul Jeffrey Sharits was a visual artist, best known for his work in experimental, or avant-garde filmmaking, particularly what became known as the structural film movement, along with other artists such as Tony Conrad, Hollis Frampton, and Michael Snow.
