Untitled is a 2013 ink by Jimmie Durham, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows five maple leaves floating against a bright yellow background. One leaf is white, like it’s been bleached, while the others are autumn colors—red, orange, and brown. The leaves are scattered loosely, some overlapping slightly, with thin stems trailing behind them. The text at the bottom says the artist used durable materials, even if the work disappears someday. That makes you wonder how something so simple can feel so deliberate. Look up Jimmie Durham next—he made this in 2013, and his work often plays with ideas like time and nature.
