The artwork, entitled “Untitled,” was created by Donald Judd in 1962. It employs gouache, graphite, and pencil as its mediums and is a representation of the Minimalism art movement. The piece, rendered in abstract genre, measures 27.9 x 35.6 cm.
“Untitled” features a central white or off-white rectangular form with rounded corners, set against a stark black background. The interior of the white shape is lined with neat, parallel horizontal lines, presumably created with graphite or pencil, meticulously spaced to evoke a sense of order and precision. The black surrounding the white form is unevenly applied, with deliberate variations in texture that contribute to the overall abstract and minimalist aesthetic of the piece. The deliberate simplicity in composition and form highlights the minimalist approach for which Judd is renowned. The artwork is framed in a simple light-colored frame which complements its minimalistic and abstract nature.
