VENICE - Palazzo Grassi

photograph by Manfredi Bellati

Central Park West, 1990 by David Hammons. The found-object assemblages of David Hammons straddle numerous art-historical borders, combing sociological references and the poetic vision of urban life with the legacies of Dada, Arte Povera and Pop. Forever “Keeping it real,” Hammons always stresses the importance of street life as the inspiration for his work. Hammons lives and works in Brooklyn.
