You see black ink swirls and splatters on white paper, like someone dragged a brush in quick, messy loops. Vostell made this in 1974, the same year he buried a TV set in concrete for an art piece. The ink looks almost like a screen glitching out—maybe that’s the point. He often mixed technology with raw, physical marks. If you like this, check out more works at The Museum of Modern Art.
