Untitled is a 1975 ink by Frans van der Steen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a dark square with a thin, frayed strip of fabric or paper glued along the top edge. From the strip hang three loose, uneven threads that dangle down like loose ends. The simplicity makes you notice small details—the way the threads aren’t perfectly straight or the slight texture of the fabric. It’s not labeled as part of any art movement, but it feels quiet and deliberate. If you like this kind of minimal work, check out etching as a technique.
