Matheny / Words

In 1966, Bob Matheny made a small number of word sculptures related to anti-Vietnam war protests. Bob recalls donating  “Hate," “Win,” and “Bomb 'Em” to auctions to raise money to protest the war.

The sculptures were part of a series of letter and number works Bob did between 1965 and 1969.
