Both photocopies are of photographs that document early work by David Hammons.
In the early 1990s, Hammons created charged works by putting condoms on both dildos and the
phallic protrusions of NYC subway turnstiles, or made them into earrings. In this Harlem barbershop
performance, he created his
Rock Head
series of sculpture. Hammons glued hair swept from a Harlem
barbershop floor to boulders found in Harlem - which were then given a haircut by the same barber.
