Untitled is a 1990 gouache by Alighiero Boetti, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This artwork shows two *Newsweek* magazine covers side by side. Both feature photos of two young boys with matching caps, labeled "All About Twins." The left cover has a red headline about the Tokyo stock market, while the right cover has a headline about government spending. A bold red line splits the image down the middle, making the covers look like they’re being torn apart. The red line isn’t just a split—it’s messy, like a real rip. The artist used a mix of print and paint to make it look rough and uneven. Want to see more work like this? Check out Alighiero Boetti.
