Untitled 1, I first saw this piece at the exhibition at the ICA, London in 2004. It was finally used on a commercial release for the 2009 7" Singles Collection (a part of the 20th Anniversary Edition releases).

I feel that John's 'Untitled 1' piece is most like this piece by Pollock. Though not as close a match as other compared pieces, John's piece is lighter, for one thing, the blueish-grey stands in front of the white in a similar manner and both pieces have that orangy-yellow flecked throughout.
