1970
ink
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1970 ink by Thomas Bayrle, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This image shows a black-and-white line drawing of a car, but it’s not just one car—it’s layered with many copies. The car is surrounded by a repeating pattern of blue shapes, like arrows or stars, filling the whole background. The lines overlap in a way that makes the car look both solid and ghostly at the same time. The artist used a printing trick to create this effect, stacking layers to build up the image. It’s not a painting but a screenprint, which means it was made by pushing ink through a stencil. If you like this style, check out Thomas Bayrle.
