Description
David Hammons Day's End is a permanent public art project by David Hammons, located in Hudson River Park along the southern edge of Gansevoort Peninsula. Inspired by an artwork of the same name by Gordon Matta-Clark, Hammons's Day's End is an open structure that precisely follows the outlines, dimensions, and location of the original shed. The Whitney Museum of American Art has developed this project in collaboration with Hudson River Park, offering an extraordinary place to experience the waterfront. The museum has also created supporting media, including a podcast series, videos, and neighborhood walking tours, which explore local history and the ecology of the estuary. This book presents new research, archival materials, and oral history interviews that will be incorporated into these projects. Published in 2024, Day's End is a unique publication that offers insight into this monumental installation and its significance in contemporary art. With 179 pages, it provides a comprehensive look at Hammons's work and the project's development.
