Untitled is a 1991 ink by Ger van Elk, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This print shows a tall, clear vase tipped over, spilling dried flowers and leaves across a light background. The flowers are mostly brown and red, with some green stems still clinging. The vase’s shape is simple, and the whole scene looks like it’s made of loose, sketchy marks—no clean lines. The flowers and vase are the only clear shapes, but the background is messy with splatters of pale yellow and gray. It feels like the artist wanted to show movement, even though nothing is really moving. This print is at The Museum of Modern Art.
