Untitled is a 2004 gouache by Rachel Whiteread, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a stack of odd-shaped boxes made of paper and cardboard. One box is open, revealing a dark inside, while the others are closed with flat or textured surfaces. The colors are mostly pale—whites, grays, and a few soft browns—with one box lid showing a marbled pattern. The boxes look heavy and solid, even though they’re made of paper. The way they’re piled up feels a little unstable, like they might topple. If you like this, check out Rachel Whiteread.
Dame Rachel Whiteread (born 20 April 1963) is an English artist who primarily produces sculptures, which typically take the form of casts.
