Untitled is a 1973 graphite by Jiro Takamatsu, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This piece is mostly a deep red square of paper with a rough, torn edge at the top. Stuck across the middle is a narrow strip of beige tape, slightly wrinkled. The paper looks worn, with faint pencil marks peeking through in spots. The simplicity makes you notice small things—like how the tape’s edges aren’t perfectly straight. It’s almost like a puzzle missing pieces. Next, check out Jiro Takamatsu.
