Untitled is a 1967 graphite by Stephen Antonakos, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a bright red half-circle arch drawn in thick, parallel lines. Below it, a messy scrawl of handwritten notes fills the page in pencil. The bottom left corner has a small vertical ruler marked with numbers, and the words "near for 57 St" are written at the top. The red lines look like they were made by layering crayon over and over. The notes seem like instructions or thoughts about the drawing, but they’re hard to read. If you like this kind of sketchy, precise drawing, look up cross-hatching.
