Untitled — Fine Art

Untitled - 1968 shows a thin line of space cut through a plain surrounding area. Fred Sandback made his work with thread and wire to outline simple volumes without filling them in. The artist keeps the line spare so the empty part around it stays part of the picture.

The frame gives the line a clean edge against the room around it. The back panel keeps the print flat and steady on the hook. This is a fine art print set in a frame with a back panel, ready to go on the wall.

In a hallway with a plain door and a narrow strip of daylight from a side window, the line of space sits quietly between two coats on hooks.
