CONCEPTUAL ART—DESTROYING THE GIANT HEAD. Annalisa had long wanted to get rid of the giant head sculpture, but it was too heavy to lift by anyone other than a pair of Muscleman Movers. A couple days ago, Annalisa bought a sledgehammer and safety googles. She wrapped the giant head in a large black trash bag, called out, “Baby’s first sledgehammer” and delivered enough blows to reduce the head to rubble.
Destroying art is art.
I have to say, destroying the giant head was extremely satisfying. Way more fun than sculpting it. Baby’s first sledgehammer will not be her last, I hope.
Have you heard of “Erased de Kooning Drawing” by Robert Rauschenberg? Annalisa should exhibit the rubble as “Smashed Schaefer Statue!”
