Untitled is a 1979 ink by Lawrence Weiner, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a red-and-white poster-style image of a person playing a violin. The text around it lists names like Peter Gordon and David Van Tieghem, along with a film title and a venue: Mudd Club. The person’s back is turned, and you can see part of a shirt with the words "SIGERSTORE" on it. The poster looks like it’s for a music event, not a painting—but it’s actually a lithograph by Lawrence Weiner. The bold, simple text and design make it feel like something from the late 1970s. If you like this style, check out lithography to see how artists print images this way.
