About this work
Overview
Untitled, a 2015 work by Kai Althoff, is a mixed-media piece centered around a 12-inch vinyl record with an offset cover, now part of The Museum of Modern Art's collection.
Subject & Meaning
The artwork combines disparate visual elements: a dominant swirled white shape (reminiscent of a snail shell or spiral galaxy) on the record, juxtaposed with a blurry face, a red-and-beige stripe, and a tiny crowd scene on the cover, suggesting a fragmented narrative of forgotten moments.
Technique & Style
Althoff's technique involves gluing fragments of old images onto the record's surface, blending them with bold, vibrant colors and maintaining rough edges, resulting in a visually complex, puzzle-like composition.
History & Provenance
Created in 2015, the work is currently held in the collection of The Museum of Modern Art, indicating its recognition within the contemporary art world.
