David Hammons: Day's End

This installation by influential NYC-based artist David Hammons will be a vast open structure that follows the outline, dimensions and location of the original Pier 52 shed on the Hudson River. The work takes its inspiration and name from Gordon Matta-Clark’s 1975 artwork, in which Matta-Clark cut five openings into the original shed. The piece, developed by the Whitney in collaboration with the Hudson River Park Trust, also nods to the to the history of New York’s waterfront and promises to be especially lovely at sunset.
