About this work

Overview

Untitled is a 1975 drawing by Trisha Brown, created with felt-tip pen, colored ink, and pencil on notebook paper. It is part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The drawing depicts a rough cube surrounded by numbers, lines, and scribbled words, including place names like 'Portland,' 'New York,' and 'College.' The notation may represent measurements, steps, or instructions, but its meaning is unclear.

Technique & Style

The work combines drawing and handwriting on notebook paper, with some text overlapping the cube. The mix of media and the informal paper create a sense of spontaneity and provisionality.
