Untitled is a 1997 graphite by Lawrence Weiner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image is a collage of cut-out words and pictures glued onto graph paper. The words "NEED TO KNOW" are huge at the top, made from torn letters. Smaller text and doodles—like a bowling ball, a computer screen, and a person sitting—are scattered around. Some pieces look like old notes or game cards. The artist mixed real words with silly questions, like *"Is this room half full?"* and *"What about the body?"* It’s like a puzzle where nothing quite fits. The metallic paint on some letters adds a shiny, unexpected touch. Look up Lawrence Weiner to see how he turned simple ideas into art.
