Untitled
1968
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1968 by Dick Higgins, depicting sheet music, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see three sheets of old music paper, scribbled with blue ballpoint pen and smeared with mud, then shot full of holes. Higgins fired a machine gun at his own drawing. The bullets turned the paper into a kind of music—loud, messy, and impossible to ignore. It’s art that doesn’t sit still; it fights back. If this feels wild, look up Fluxus, the loose group he helped start. Or just walk through The Museum of Modern Art—they own the piece.
