Untitled is a 1997 graphite by Gabriel Orozco, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting looks like a collage of old airline tickets and travel forms. The pieces are cut into odd shapes—some rounded, some jagged—and arranged to overlap in a loose circle. Blue and white dominate, with handwritten notes and stamps scattered across the paper. The tickets aren’t glued flat; they’re slightly tilted, giving the whole thing a floating feel. The artist took everyday objects and turned them into something new. If you like this, check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more work like this.
