David Hammons — crystal, brass, frosted glass, light fixtures, hardware and steel
David Hammons

crystal, brass, frosted glass, light fixtures, hardware and steel

2000

David Hammons assembles everyday industrial and found materials—crystal, brass, frosted glass, and steel hardware—into a sculptural work that blurs the line between functional object and fine art. The combination of light fixtures with ornate and utilitarian elements reflects Hammons' signature practice of elevating overlooked or unexpected materials to challenge assumptions about value, aesthetics, and cultural meaning.
