Untitled 2 — Fine Art

Untitled 2 by Alighiero Boetti uses a grid of letters and numbers set in rows. The marks run across the sheet in black ink on a light surface. The title of this print points to a measured system of signs. You see the steady spacing before you notice the small variation in each line.

This fine art print sits in a frame with a back panel. The matte paper holds the letters without shine, so the black ink stays even under a lamp. The frame keeps the sheet flat and the back panel seals the edges.

It fits above a desk in a study. From the chair you read the rows as a list, and the top letters sit just beside your shoulder. The steady spacing keeps the eye moving line to line.
