Untitled is a 1980 ink by General Idea, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a person with a shaved head drinking from a tube. They’re wearing a loose, dark robe with a ruffled collar. Behind them, a wall of tiny red text covers everything—like a word puzzle or scrambled message. The artist used a printing trick to layer the text over the portrait. The date in the corner reads "March 27, 1980." Check out the technique: lithography to see how this kind of print works.
