Untitled is a 1968 ink by Joseph Kosuth, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a dark gray background with a white grid of text. The words are definitions of "abstract," printed in a clean, typewriter-style font. The layout is simple, with no pictures or extra colors—just the words and a few faint lines dividing the page. The text is pulled straight from a dictionary, focusing on how "abstract" is defined in different ways. It’s not a painting in the usual sense—no brushstrokes or faces, just ideas turned into print.
