About this work

This untitled 1958 work shows three sheets of see-through paper layered with black ink. Two upper sheets have wavy blue lines. The bottom sheet has a jagged cut-out. The see-through paper lets colors mix where sheets overlap. This feels like music on paper, not just drawing. The cut-out adds a shadow-box effect. Go see it at The Museum of Modern Art.
