Untitled (Krol) is a public artwork by American artist Ronald W. Krol. It is located on the grounds of Pickwick Farms, an apartment complex in Indianapolis, Indiana.[1] The artwork consists of three red rectilinear shapes intersecting each other[2] and resting on concrete pads. Krol's work is one of several abstract pieces by Herron School of Art graduates that were commissioned in the mid-1970s by real estate developer Robert Born for the Pickwick apartments.[1]
