Untitled is a 1961 watercolor by Claes Oldenburg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like torn-up scraps glued onto paper. You see jagged shapes—some look like furniture, others like food or body parts—all in white, brown, or gray. One piece has newspaper print. The colors are muted, and the edges are rough, like something ripped by hand. The artist used real paper cutouts, not just paint. The scraps feel random but fit together strangely, like a puzzle with missing pieces. Check out Claes Oldenburg for more work like this.
Claes Oldenburg (January 28, 1929 – July 18, 2022) was a Swedish-born American sculptor best known for his public art installations, typically featuring large replicas of everyday objects.
