Eye Magazine #14: Cobalt Myth Mechanics
A limited-edition artist's publication by David Hammons, numbered 14 from an edition of 200, featuring original cardboard covers with a striking galvanized sheet metal front. The work exemplifies Hammons' use of unconventional and industrial materials, transforming the familiar format of a magazine into a sculptural object that challenges notions of value, authenticity, and collectibility. Variously signed, titled, and dated, the piece reflects the artist's ongoing engagement with the boundaries between fine art, print culture, and everyday materiality.

“When I lie down on the paper which is first placed on the floor, I have to carefully decide how to get up after I have made the impression that I want. Sometimes I lie there for perhaps three minutes or even longer just figuring out how I can get off the paper without smudging the image that I’m trying to print.” - David Hammons
