Untitled is a 1990 graphite by Martin Kippenberger, held at Museum of Modern Art.
The image depicts a portrait of a man, drawn in colored pencil and pencil on hotel stationery. The man is shown from the chest up, with a neutral expression and dark hair. He is wearing a collared shirt with blue dots. The background of the drawing is the hotel stationery itself, which features a logo and text in green. The text includes the name of the hotel, "Hotel Restaurant Goldener Adler," and the years "1390-1990." There are also some scribbled words and letters on the man's head and shoulders. This portrait is reminiscent of the work of Martin Kippenberger, a German artist known for his eclectic and often humorous style.
