About this work
Overview
Untitled, a 1999 drawing by Thomas Scheibitz, is executed in pencil on printed paper. The work is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The drawing depicts a simple house with a triangular roof, two windows, a door, and a chimney, alongside three tall, thin triangular structures on a base. The subject's interpretation is left open, with the minimalist, architectural style suggesting a focus on form and composition.
Technique & Style
Scheibitz employs a minimalist approach, using pencil to create a sparse, architectural drawing. The pre-printed paper's faint, illegible text and light gray background subtly underlie the main elements.
History & Provenance
Created in 1999, the work is now held in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art. Scheibitz's later projects include a 2005 collaboration with Tino Sehgal at the 51st Venice Biennale.
