Untitled is a 2002 charcoal by Richard Artschwager, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing looks like a wall with faint lines. The lines are straight and run diagonally. Cut into the wall are rough shapes—some look like doorways, others like windows or just empty spaces. The whole thing is drawn in a soft, smudgy charcoal. The artist used shading to make the shapes pop out. It’s not polished—just sketchy and rough. The lines on the wall look like they’re meant to be there, but the cutouts feel like an afterthought. Want to see more? Check out Richard Artschwager.
