About this work

This image is completely blank—just a smooth, empty white surface with no marks, shapes, or colors. There’s nothing to see except the paper itself, no lines, no texture, not even a hint of something hidden. The artist made this on purpose in 1978, calling it *Untitled*. It’s not a mistake—it’s a work that forces you to think about what art can be when it looks like nothing. Want to know more?
