Untitled is a 1974 ink by Chris Burden, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a white background with blue handwritten text at the top. The words read: *"Chris—took bus to work. Can not do nails. Could not sleep."* Below, there’s a small black-and-white photo of two hands holding something small, like a coin or a ring. The text looks like a personal note, jotted down quickly. The hands in the photo are close-up, almost filling the frame. If you’re curious about how this kind of print was made, look up lithography.
Christopher Lee Burden (April 11, 1946 – May 10, 2015) was an American artist working in performance art, sculpture, and installation art.
