Untitled is a 1969 by Jan Dibbets, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows two sides of a postcard. On the left, a black-and-white street scene with tall brick buildings, small balconies, and a black X painted over a window. A streetlamp and a car’s roof are also visible. On the right, a man in a dark coat gives a thumbs-up, his face serious but focused. The X over the window is the only thing altered in the photo—everything else looks normal. The postcard feels like a quiet protest, hiding something behind a simple mark.
