Untitled is a 1992 oil by Glenn Ligon, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a wall of black, jagged text on a light background. The words repeat over and over, slightly off-kilter, like they’re stacked bricks. The letters are thick and uneven, some fading into the paper. The text is a looped phrase about something turning invisible. It’s hand-applied with an oily stick, making the marks look rough and uneven. If you like this style, check out Glenn Ligon.
