" Day’s End is due to become one of the most significant works by Hammons."- ARTnews 'has taken not a village but literally a city to realize.'" - The New Yorker We follow the evolution of the Manhattan coastline through the history of the Meatpacking District, and celebrate the communities that have shaped the neighborhood where the Whitney now stands. Anchored on the banks of Manhattan’s West Side and stretching into the Hudson River, Hammons’s Day’s End is sited next to the Museum and occupies the precise location where Matta-Clark’s work once stood. This is a monumental, permanent public installation that pays tribute to a long-destroyed 1975 artwork of the same name by the artist Gordon Matta-Clark. We consider the American artist David Hammons and his new sculpture, Day’s End (2014–21). In keeping with the Whitney’s mission, collection, and programming, Artists Among Us is our newest mode of storytelling by which we consider the complexities and contradictions that have culminated in the United States we experience today. The Whitney Museum of American Art presents Artists Among Us, a podcast about American art and culture. Read more about the project in an essay by the Museum’s director. New research, archival materials, and oral history interviews will all be incorporated. This supporting media takes both Day’s Ends, as envisaged by Hammons and Matta-Clark, as jumping-off points for exploring local history-of the waterfront and the Meatpacking District, the role of artists in the neighborhood, its LGBTQ history, and the ecology of the estuary. The Whitney has also created interpretive materials including the Museum's first podcast series, Artists Among Us, as well as videos and neighborhood walking tours. In tandem with the project's realization, the Whitney presented Around Day’s End: Downtown New York, 1970–1986, an exhibition which featured works from the collection that relate to Matta-Clark’s seminal project. Hammons’s Day’s End is an open structure that precisely follows the outlines, dimensions, and location of the original shed-and, like Matta-Clark’s intervention, it will offer an extraordinary place to experience the waterfront. In 1975, Matta-Clark cut five openings into the Pier 52 shed that formerly occupied the site. Proposed to the Whitney by Hammons, Day’s End takes inspiration from an artwork of the same name by Gordon Matta-Clark (1943–78). Entitled Day’s End (2014–21), this monumental installation is located in Hudson River Park along the southern edge of Gansevoort Peninsula, directly across from the Museum. The Whitney, in collaboration with Hudson River Park, has developed a permanent public art project by David Hammons (b.
