Untitled is a 2006 ink by Thomas Schütte, depicting Catalogue, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see 27 small, black-and-white prints laid out in a grid—each one looks like a quick sketch of a building or a tower, some wobbly, some sharp. Schütte made these while thinking about how architects draw their ideas. The prints feel like doodles, but they’re actually done with a mix of etching (scratching metal plates) and nyloprint (a modern way to print from plastic). The letters and numbers stamped on them make it seem like they’re part of a bigger, unfinished plan. If you like how these look, try searching for the technique *etching*.
Thomas Schütte is a German contemporary artist. He sculpts, creates architectural designs, and draws. He lives and works in Düsseldorf.
