Untitled is a 2007 ink by Albert Oehlen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This sketch shows a messy, half-finished face with big, hollow eyes and a wide-open mouth. Around it, there’s a tangle of arms, legs, and strange shapes—some look like people, others like blobs or broken lines. The words "SPAVENTOSO" are scrawled across the top, and the whole thing feels like it’s falling apart. The artist used ink to add dark lines over a scratched base, making some spots fuzzy and others sharp. It’s not a clean drawing—it’s more like a quick, rough idea. If you like this style, look up etching to see how artists use ink and scratches to make prints.
Albert Oehlen (born 17 September 1954) is a German painter, installation artist and musician. He lives and works in Bühler, Switzerland and Segovia, Spain.
