About this work
Overview
Untitled, a 2008 lithograph by American artist Amy Cutler, is part of the collection at the Museum of Modern Art. The work presents a linear arrangement of four women seated on rope swings, each engaged in the manipulation of long, light‑brown cords that descend from an unseen ceiling.
Subject & Meaning
The figures, dressed in distinct garments and with hair pulled back, appear absorbed in a quiet, repetitive task. Their synchronized activity suggests themes of labor, communal effort, and the rhythmic nature of domestic or craft work, rendered in a calm, almost meditative atmosphere.
Technique & Style
Created through lithography, the image was produced by drawing on a flat stone or metal plate and then transferring the design onto paper via a printing press. Cutler’s characteristic linear outlines and flat areas of color are evident, emphasizing the graphic quality of the composition.
History & Provenance
The print was completed in 2008 and subsequently acquired by the Museum of Modern Art, where it remains in the institution’s print and drawing holdings. Its inclusion reflects MoMA’s ongoing interest in contemporary printmaking and feminist narratives.
