Untitled is a 1975 ink by Diet Sayler, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a blank light beige square. The only marks are two words carved in shallow letters at the bottom: "DIET SAYLER." The surface is smooth, with no other shapes or colors. The artist’s name is the only thing breaking the emptiness. It’s like the painting is asking you to focus on the idea of nothingness—or maybe just the artist’s handwriting. Check out lithography to see how artists print images this way.
