David Hammons: Discard Sculpture

David Hammons utilizes unconventional and often culturally charged materials that evoke racial stereotypes and the challenges of African American experience. Untitled is made from discarded bottles of Thunderbird and Night Train Express that Hammons scavenged in New York City. Arranged in a rough circle, Hammons’s found-object sculpture offers a pointed social critique of racial bias and inequality in American culture.
