About this work
Overview
Untitled is a 1992 work by Ann Hamilton, held at The Museum of Modern Art. It is a handmade multiple featuring a book filled with pebbles, encased in a glass and birch frame.
Subject & Meaning
The work presents an open book with pages densely filled with small stones, evoking the appearance of a text. The book's contents are rendered unreadable, inviting contemplation on the relationship between objects, language, and narrative.
Technique & Style
Hamilton manually inserted hundreds of tiny pebbles into the book's pages, creating a tactile and visually striking effect. The use of a glass case and laquered birch frame adds to the work's sense of containment and quietude.
