Untitled is a 1989 ink by Barbara Kruger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting features a collage of text and an image. The text is in black and includes a definition of "story" and "narrative." A red rectangle overlays the text, containing a black-and-white image of two hands holding a white object with illegible text. The text and image are set against a white background, with a thin border around the edges. The overall effect is one of layered meaning and visual interest.
