Untitled (Who Is Queen?) is a transferred pulp work on cotton handmade paper, executed in 2021 and published by Pace Prints, Inc., New York.

The work exemplifies the conceptually charged and formally innovative visual language of Adam Pendleton, one of the most critically acclaimed and institutionally recognized American artists of his generation. Working across painting, video, printmaking, and text, Pendleton has built a practice rooted in the intersection of abstraction, language, and Black cultural history — a body of work he has described as "Black Dada," drawing on the radical legacies of Dada, Conceptual Art, and the Black Arts Movement to forge a visual and intellectual language of urgent contemporary relevance.

In Untitled (Who Is Queen?), the transferred pulp technique — a labor-intensive process in which pigmented pulp is transferred onto a handmade cotton paper support — produces a surface of exceptional tactile richness and visual complexity. The title's direct, provocative question — Who Is Queen? — resonates with the broader themes of identity, power, visibility, and cultural authority that run throughout Pendleton's practice. The handmade paper support further underlines the work's investment in materiality and process as carriers of meaning, connecting it to a long tradition of artist-made paper as a medium of radical artistic intention.
