The artwork, titled “Untitled #58,” was created by Howardena Pindell in 1974 and belongs to the Lyrical Abstraction movement. This abstract piece showcases Pindell’s unique stylistic approach within its genre.
The artwork consists of a myriad of small paper dots, some featuring handwritten numerical sequences or characters. These dots are meticulously arranged to cover a rectangular canvas, creating a textured surface. The color palette predominantly comprises cream and beige tones, providing a subtle background against which the detailed markings on the paper dots are accentuated. The overall composition evokes a sense of meticulousness and intricacy, typical of the Lyrical Abstraction movement, and reflects Pindell’s innovative exploration of form and content within abstract art.
