Night Train is a piece done by David Hammons. Born in 1943, he is an American artist especially known for his works in and around New York City during the 1970s and 1980s, yet whose innovative work is continuously evolving. In his sculptures and installations, Hammons typically makes use of found materials, bringing everyday objects culled from ‘street’ culture into the pristine space of art galleries and museums. Hammons transforms discarded remnants such as chicken bones, liquor bottles, and barbershop hair into delicate, beautiful assemblages that open themselves to multiple readings.
