(Untitled)
1975

A minimalist ink drawing on an off-white paper featuring abstract shapes and lines. On the left, there are two small, simple shapes resembling a cloud and a cup. On the right, a larger, more complex assembly of black lines and strokes forms an abstract figure that could be interpreted as a person or an object, depending on the viewer's perspective. The bottom right corner of the paper has handwritten numbers and letters indicating a series or edition.
