Untitled is a 1969 silver by Ger van Elk, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a black and white photograph of a cityscape, with a building in the foreground and a street with cars in the background. The photograph is placed on a piece of paper with a sketch of a building on it, and the whole thing is mounted on a gray background. The sketch appears to be a rough draft of a building design, with lines and shapes that suggest a modernist style. The photograph, on the other hand, shows a more traditional building with a steeply pitched roof and ornate details. The combination of the photograph and the sketch creates an interesting contrast between old and new, and suggests that the artist was exploring different ways of representing architecture.
