Untitled is a 1998 by Thomas Hirschhorn, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This artwork is a collage on cardboard, featuring a black-and-white photograph of a man in a suit and tie. The image is framed by a red border, with handwritten text in red ink surrounding it. The text includes phrases like "I LOVE OTTO FREUNDLICH" and "O.F. JE NE T'OUBLIERAI PAS!", which appear to be a tribute to the artist Otto Freundlich. The overall effect is one of handmade, DIY aesthetic, with the rough texture of the cardboard and the uneven handwriting adding to the sense of informality. The use of red ink and the bold, expressive handwriting gives the piece a sense of energy and emotion.
