Untitled is a 1984 oil by Robert Ryman, a Contemporary Abstract work, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is a square, white canvas with a grey strip at the top. It is mounted on a white wall, and the bottom of the canvas is slightly lower than the middle. The canvas appears to be made of a smooth material, possibly fiberglass, and has a subtle sheen to it. The grey strip at the top adds a touch of contrast to the otherwise monochromatic piece. The simplicity of the painting invites the viewer to focus on the texture and materiality of the canvas.
