Untitled is a 1976 ink by Red Grooms, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This black-and-white print is packed with wild, overlapping shapes. On the left, a bearded man in a suit sits with his legs crossed, looking serious. To the right, a woman in a big hat and flowing dress holds a guitar, her face half-lit. The background is a chaotic mix of buildings, trees, and tiny figures—like a cityscape turned inside-out. The artist signed it in the corner, marking it as a proof print. The lines are scratchy and layered, giving it a rough, handmade feel. Want to see more like this?
