Untitled is a 1959 graphite by Henning Christiansen, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like a messy but careful collage of wood-shaped pieces stuck to paper. The shapes are rough, like piano keys or small boxes, with some drawn lines inside them. Tiny sketches of musical notes, bottles, and instruments are scribbled in ink and pencil. The paper is filled with handwritten notes in different languages, some crossed out, others circled. The notes seem like instructions or ideas for arranging the wood pieces. One section has a label: *"Arrangement Henning Christiansen, 25.6.62."* That might mean the artist planned this layout later. If you like this kind of sketchy, mixed-up art, check out Henning Christiansen.
Henning Christiansen (1932–2008) was a Danish artist.
