Untitled is a 1968 ink by Sigmar Polke, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This looks like a quick sketch on lined notebook paper. A few thin lines branch out like roots, holding up small, rough squares that look like tiny paintings or photos. One long line curves off to the side, ending in a simple shape that might be a bucket or bag. The whole thing is drawn in ink, with some squares filled in darker than others. The handwritten note at the bottom reads something like *"pictures on the brain, for inspection with Polke"*—probably a hint from the artist. The sketch feels playful, like a doodle that’s also a puzzle. Next, check out Sigmar Polke to see how he mixed art and everyday stuff like this.
