Untitled is a 1987 ink by Günther Förg, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting shows two thick black stripes on a yellow background. The stripes aren’t perfectly straight—they wobble a little, like they were brushed on by hand. The paper looks smooth, but the ink is uneven, with some rough edges where it was applied. The black stripes are almost like two vertical bands framing the yellow. The yellow itself is flat, with no texture or detail—just solid color. It feels simple, but the way the stripes sit on top makes it look intentional. If you like this kind of minimal, bold art, look up Günther Förg.
Günther Förg was a German painter, graphic designer, sculptor and photographer. His style was influenced by American abstract painting.
