Untitled is a 1997 ink by Beatrice Riese, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a wall of tiny, repeating letters jammed together. The letters are all the same brownish color, packed so tightly they blur into a dense, noisy block. The edges are uneven, like the letters were stamped or scribbled in haste. The letters don’t spell anything clear—they’re just a chaotic mass. The whole thing looks like a close-up of a typewriter page exploded into chaos. If you like this, look up lithography next to see how artists print these kinds of images.
Beatrice Riese (1917–2004) was an American artist, born in The Hague.
