Untitled is a 1977 graphite by Sol LeWitt, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch is a messy grid of quick, scribbled boxes. Some are drawn flat, others tilted or stacked. Lines crisscross inside them, and tiny notes like "3/4 x 8" or "FB" clutter the page. A few look like cubes, others like open frames or flat panels. The whole thing feels like a brainstorm—half-finished, full of ideas but no final shape. The artist used simple shapes and numbers to map out possible forms. It’s more about the thinking process than a polished drawing. The notes might be measurements or shorthand for how the boxes relate. If you like this, check out Sol LeWitt—he often worked this way.
