Untitled 1966

"Untitled" (1966) by Marcelle Cahn is a minimalist artwork characterized by its simple composition and use of found materials. The piece features a long, rectangular piece of cardboard with a yellow stripe running across the bottom edge. Three circular green pieces of paper are adhered to the surface, creating a sense of visual balance. The artwork’s directness and austerity reflect the characteristics of Minimalist art, which emerged in the 1960s, challenging traditional notions of art. Cahn’s use of everyday materials emphasizes the concept of object-hood and its potential for artistic expression.
