Untitled is a 2013 ink by Richard Tuttle, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This piece looks like a mix of shapes and colors stuck to a white background. There are small squares in yellow and dark blue, some with brushstrokes or textures. Tiny red dots and punched holes are scattered around, like a loose pattern. The edges of the squares feel uneven, almost like they were torn or cut by hand. The title says "Untitled," but the way it’s made—woodcut, rubbing, and brush—means the artist played with different textures. The punched holes add a surprising detail, like a secret code. If you like this kind of abstract work, check out woodcut next to see how artists use carving and printing.
