About this work

This is a blank black square. It looks like a single sheet of paper, but it’s actually part of a set of fifty. The edges are clean, and a thin black ribbon holds it closed at the top and bottom. The emptiness makes you wonder what’s missing. The artist left no marks, no title, just this solid dark space. This is one print from a series made using lithography.
