The artwork is “Untitled,” created by artist David Hammons in 2010. Belonging to the Post-Minimalism movement, it is classified as an abstract piece.
The artwork presents a striking composition characterized by its use of unconventional materials, primarily plastic bags in varying shades of black, dark grey, and a prominent red section. The plastic materials are arranged in a layered and tattered manner, contributing to its textured and dynamic appearance. The work’s distressed and torn elements hint at themes of decay and impermanence, inviting viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between materiality and abstraction. As an abstract piece in the Post-Minimalist tradition, it challenges traditional notions of fine art materials and embraces a raw, unrefined aesthetic.
