Untitled is a 1983 ink by Lothar Baumgarten, held at Museum of Modern Art.
You see a grid of tiny black footprints stamped across white paper, like someone walked in wet shoes. Baumgarten made this after living with the Yanomami people in the Amazon. The title refers to a Lakota chief’s memoir, mixing two Indigenous worlds. The prints feel both personal and borrowed—like a trace of someone else’s journey. If you like how simple marks can tell big stories, look up lithography.
Lothar Baumgarten was a German conceptual artist, based in New York and Berlin. His work includes installation and also film.
