From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1984 graphite by Joseph Beuys, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like a piece of old wrapping paper with green ink drawings. You see pine branches, little stars, and tiny candles in circles. The words *"Weihnachts Fest"* (German for "Christmas Festival") are printed in the corners. There’s also a handwritten note that says *"Genkener Str."* and a small stamped design with a cross inside a circle. The paper feels like it’s from a gift or a holiday package. The artist scribbled his name—*Joseph Beuys*—in the middle, along with *"S4"*, which might be a sketch number or date. Look up Joseph Beuys to see how he turned everyday objects into art.
Joseph Heinrich Beuys ( BOYSS; German: ; 12 May 1921 – 23 January 1986) was a German artist, teacher, performance artist, and art theorist whose work reflected concepts of humanism and sociology.
