The artwork entitled “Untitled,” created by Jannis Kounellis in 1968, is an emblematic piece of the Post-Minimalism art movement. This installation artwork exemplifies Kounellis’s innovative approach and reflects the aesthetic tendencies of its time.
The artwork is composed of a wooden framework supporting multiple layers of intertwined, coarse wool fibers. The wool strands vary in hues, predominantly featuring shades of blue, purple, and off-white. The fibers are loosely draped over the horizontal slats of the frame, creating a cascading effect that evokes a sense of raw, organic materiality. The juxtaposition of the structured wooden frame with the chaotic arrangement of wool explores themes of order and disorder, providing a tactile quality that invites viewers to ponder the relationship between natural elements and human intervention.
