The artwork titled “Untitled (Rock Head)” was created by David Hammons in 2005. This piece is classified under the Post-Minimalism art movement and falls within the genre of sculpture.
The artwork features an intriguing sculptural form that rests upon a wooden pedestal. It prominently showcases a rock, which has been manipulated to resemble a head with a distinct texture and coloration that evokes the appearance of hair on the upper portion. The rock’s natural surface and the variability in texture play a critical role in the visual impact of the piece. The subtle gradation in color from dark at the top to lighter tones below adds a striking contrast and emphasizes the lifelike quality of the sculpture. The minimalistic and thoughtful design epitomizes Post-Minimalist aesthetic principles, focusing on the simplicity of form and the depth of conceptual meaning.
