Edition Information:
“Orbits and Gravity” is a title applied to seven numerically-ordered compositions, dated 2008-2009. (#4 is applied to two different compositions, designated A and B for cataloguing purposes.) One composition, Untitled (Orbits and Gravity #1), has four panels, and another, Untitled (Orbits and Gravity #2), has two panels. The compositions often incorporate the same plates but in different configurations. In addition to the composition documented here, the six others in this group are seen in Related Works in the Catalogue.

This is one of the two compositions with the same title, designated A for cataloguing purposes. The plate in this composition is also found in “Je Cherche Après Titine,” seen in the Evolving Composition Diagram. In addition, it is found in Untitled (Orbits and Gravity #1) (first panel), Untitled (Orbits and Gravity #5) (one of two superimposed plates), and Untitled (Orbits and Gravity #6) (right plate, in center of sheet). All can be seen in Related Works in the Catalogue along with the other “Orbits and Gravity” compositions.
Curatorial Remarks:
The plate size and paper type could not be documented because this work is not in MoMA's Collection and could not be examined in person.
