Untitled is a 1959 ink by Dick Higgins, depicting Sheet Music, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a small sheet of paper covered in tiny, repeated ink stamps—like someone pressed the same rubber stamp over and over in neat rows. Higgins made this by hand, but it looks almost mechanical. The stamps create a pattern that feels both random and controlled, as if the artist was playing with rules and accidents at the same time. It’s part of a series called *Graphis*, where he used everyday tools to make art. If you like this, check out more work by Dick Higgins.
Dick Higgins was an American artist, composer, art theorist, poet, publisher, printmaker, and a co-founder of the Fluxus international artistic movement.
