Untitled is a 2000 oil by Glenn Ligon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like a wall covered in smudged letters. The marks are dark and light, almost like fingerprints or dirt. Some shapes stand out—maybe words or faces—but they’re hard to read. The artist used real coal dust and ink to make it. It’s messy, like someone rubbed their hands all over paper. Check out Glenn Ligon to see more work like this.
