Untitled, #20 1974

Howardena Pindell's "Untitled, #20" from 1974 is a prime example of her signature style of assemblage, utilizing a unique combination of found objects and meticulous arrangement. The piece, measuring 30.5 x 24.5 cm, features a dense field of small, circular paper pieces, each with a unique pattern or design. The uniformity of the shapes creates a sense of repetition and order, while the random placement of the pieces introduces an element of chance and unpredictability, exploring themes of pattern, order, and chaos.
