From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1977 paint by Jannis Kounellis, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This painting is mostly a flat, light brown background with scattered dark blue splotches. Some look like splatters, others like smears. On the right side, there’s a piece of tape holding a thin stick with a crumpled paper bag tied to it. The tape and stick feel random, like something left behind or added later. The paint and paper look simple, but the mix of messy and clean parts makes it feel intentional. Check out The Museum of Modern Art to see more work like this in person.
