 Title:
Jack
Artist:
Unknown
Commissioned
by: University of Chicago (?)
Location:
4912 S. Woodlawn
Medium:
Aluminum
Commentary:
In 1962, an art student from the University of Chicago created
this, another like it and another which was an aluminum ball.
The three of them made a set of gigantic jacks. Now only one is
left, so you can't have a game. Quite often modern artists make
copies of common objects but change them in ways that are interesting.
Here a jack is shown large, shiny and kind of squared off. It
is a jack, but not a jack. You can't use it, but you can think
about it. What do you think?
