The artwork “Untitled,” created by David Hammons in 1989, is a sculpture representative of the Post-Minimalism art movement. Hammons is known for his innovative approach to materials and concepts, which is evident in this piece.
The sculpture is composed of an arrangement of glass bottles, meticulously aligned to form a circular structure. The bottles, which transition in color from green to clear, are uniformly positioned to create a seamless and continuous loop. The careful placement of each bottle emphasizes an aesthetic of repetition and symmetry, characteristic of the Post-Minimalism movement’s focus on simplicity and the materiality of objects. The artwork stands on a white platform, allowing the colors and form to stand out starkly against the neutral background, inviting viewers to contemplate both the assembly and the intrinsic qualities of the materials used.
