“Untitled” is an installation artwork by Robert Morris, produced between 1967 and 1968. Crafted from plastic, this minimalist piece is housed in the Tate Modern, London, UK. The work epitomizes the Minimalism movement and engages with the viewer through its unadorned and abstract form.
The artwork comprises a series of black, ribbon-like plastic strips that cascade from a central point near the top, extending towards the floor. The material sags and folds in an organic manner, creating a dynamic interplay of shadows and negative space against the white wall it is mounted upon. The simplicity and lack of narrative in the piece encourage viewers to reflect on the form, texture, and spatial relationships within the installation. Through its minimalistic approach, the artwork challenges traditional perceptions of art by emphasizing materiality and form over representational content.
