About this work
Overview
Untitled, a 1990 work by Paul Etienne Lincoln, is a conceptual piece housed at The Museum of Modern Art. It consists of two vinyl records enclosed in a fabric-lined folder, presented in a compact, book-like format.
Subject & Meaning
The work subverts perceptions of scale and weight, juxtaposing the actual heaviness of vinyl records with a deceptively lightweight appearance, inviting reflection on the nature of everyday objects.
Technique & Style
Lincoln employs a minimalist approach, using unmarked black records and a closed, red fabric-lined folder to focus attention on the conceptual play rather than visual intricacy.
History & Provenance
Created in 1990, the piece is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection, characteristic of Lincoln's period of exploring scale and object manipulation.
Context
Untitled reflects Lincoln's broader practice of recontextualizing mundane items through unusual sizing, as evident in other works by the artist.
