Untitled is a 1973 graphite by Sylvia Plimack Mangold, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows a wooden floor with planks running horizontally. Near the top, there’s a framed rectangle that looks like an empty picture—just the wood grain of the frame and a blank space inside. The floorboards have a warm, reddish-brown color, with some faint pencil lines running diagonally. The empty frame is the only thing breaking up the simple floor pattern. It’s like the painting is asking what’s missing. Next, check out Sylvia Plimack Mangold.
