In honor of Gordon Matta-Clark’s birthday today, take a look back at his artwork Day’s End (1975) and how this piece inspired artist David Hammons to create his 2021 public art installation outside the Whitney.

Opened to the public five years ago, Hammons’s Day’s End reflects the exact location and dimensions of the Pier 52 shed used in Matta-Clark’s intervention.

New on view: Helen Frankenthaler’s Blue Form in a Scene (1961)

In 1952, Frankenthaler placed canvas onto the floor and poured turpentine-thinned oil paint directly onto the unstretched surface, creating a technique that became known as “stain painting.” The uneven rate of the paint’s absorption into the fabric creates the swaths of color you see here.

Frankenthaler once said, “I don’t start with a color order but find the color as I go.”
