Like many of Nauman's works, this one started without a name. According to Joan Simon, "then, typically to the designation untitled (not an official title for Nauman) were added various parenthetical descriptions--including Nauman's own 'a large scale work 1/2 scale study in plaster & fiberglass for sand cast iron model for a concrete trench & four buried passages.' Its official title finally became Model for Trench and Four Buried Passages...The work also has been known as Untitled; Untitled (Model for Large Scale Work); Model for Trench with 4 Tunnels;...Untitled ('A Large Scale Work, 1/2 Scale Study in Plaster and Fiberglass For Sand Cast From Model For A Concrete Trench And Four Buried Passages'); and A Large Scale Work" (J. Simon, telefax to Christie's, March 25, 1994).

Please note: This work will not be included in the pre-sale exhibition, but can be seen by appointment in Christie's warehouse.
