Gary Simmons

Everforward...(Neverback)

A pair of gloves bearing handwritten inscriptions in black ink, this work by Gary Simmons transforms an everyday object into a conceptual and personal artifact. The title *Everforward...(Neverback)* evokes themes of relentless progress and the impossibility of return, ideas central to Simmons' exploration of race, memory, and erasure. Produced as an artist's proof beyond the standard edition of 20 and published by Permanent Press, Brooklyn, the work occupies an intimate space between sculpture, text, and ephemera.

Medium
signed, dated `93 and numbered `AP 4/4' in black ink inside one glove, also numbered inside the other glove (an artist's proof, the edition was 20), published by Permanent Press, Brooklyn.
