Description
“Artists Monument” by Tony Tasset
For the 2014 Whitney Biennial, artist Tony Tasset has chosen to take his work outside of the museum’s galleries and present it in Hudson River Park. The multicolored acrylic panels are etched with the names of 392,486 modern and contemporary artists, ranging from Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol to emerging artists with a single exhibition to their credit.
By building this horizontal monument in public space, with the artists’ names listed alphabetically and the colors arranged randomly, Tasset symbolically flattens the hierarchies that exist between lauded and unknown artists and instead celebrates the entire community.
