Untitled is a 1975 ink by Sylvia Plimack Mangold, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This picture shows a close-up of thin metal strips. The strips run straight up and down, all the same width. In the middle, there’s a ruler with numbers and a brand name—*Westcott Flexible Stainless Steel*. The edges of the strips are slightly fuzzy, and the whole thing looks flat, like a sheet of paper. The ruler in the middle is a weird detail. It’s not really part of the metal—it’s just drawn in. The artist used this trick to make you notice the size of the strips. If you like this kind of simple, precise art, check out lithography.
Sylvia Plimack Mangold (born 1938) is an American artist, painter, printmaker, and pastelist. She is known for her representational depictions of interiors and landscapes.
