Untitled is a 1963 ink by Benjamin Patterson, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a plain envelope holding four small cards. The cards have typed words like *"FIND YOU PRIDE"* and *"STEP AND REVENT"* with red ink lines cutting through them. One card says *"A GAME"* with tiny text below, and another has a short quote in tiny type. The colors are basic—beige paper, black ink, and thin red lines. The red lines look like they’re blocking or cutting the words, almost like a game or puzzle. The messy handwriting and stamped marks make it feel like something was added by hand later.
