Description
David Hammons Bliz-aard Ball Sale by Elena Filipovic In 1983, David Hammons staged an unannounced street sale in the East Village, selling snowballs of varying sizes to passersby. This event, known as the Bliz-aard Ball Sale, was a pivotal moment in the artist's oeuvre, which has since explored themes of art, commerce, performance, and race. For the first time, this book brings together rare images, documents, and oral histories to shed light on this enigmatic artwork. Elena Filipovic's engaging study reveals the Bliz-aard Ball Sale as a key component of Hammons' radical artistic vision, one that challenges our understanding of these concepts and their intersections. Through its examination of this ephemeral action, the book offers a nuanced insight into an artist who has made a career out of evading categorization.
