Untitled is a 1967 ink by Hedda Sterne, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This drawing shows a big, tangled flower made of swirling black and yellow lines. The petals blur into each other, almost like smoke or a storm. The center is dense and dark, while the edges fade into thin, wispy strokes. The artist used a technique where ink is pressed onto a smooth stone, then transferred to paper—each stroke looks hand-drawn but precise. It’s not a realistic flower but more like a dreamy, messy one. Check out lithography to see how this kind of printmaking works.
