Jeff Berner

American, b. 1940

Jeff Berner is an American artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art.

Jeff Berner’s 1967 lithograph looks like a doodle at first, just a few quick lines and a smudge of ink, but try to trace where one shape ends and another begins. The trick is that the whole thing was printed from one flat plate, no carving, no cleaning up edges, so what you see is exactly what the artist left behind. Check out Untitled next time you’re near a print rack; it’s proof that the simplest tools can make something worth staring at.
