Rubbermaid Mop Wringer and Bucket
1994
Tom Sachs' "Rubbermaid Mop Wringer and Bucket" is a mixed media construction that transforms an everyday utilitarian object into an artwork through deliberate material choices and assembly techniques. Created from steel wire, foam core, duct tape, and nails, the work exemplifies Sachs' practice of elevating banal commercial products and industrial materials into conceptual sculpture. The piece reflects his interest in the aesthetics of functionality and the vernacular language of temporary construction, blurring boundaries between readymade and handmade art.
