There's a hefty book with the same title as the exhibition. The Mingei has left one out on the Nakashima bench for a full craft experience.

Matheny / Words

Image
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. All images:  Bob Matheny “Win"
"Hate"
The sculptures were part of a series of letter and number works Bob did between 1965 and 1969.  Read more about the series on Bob's website.

More of Matheny's work can be seen at the Spitting In The Wind exhibition, currently on view at OMA. ↑ Bob has framed a message for you if don't go see this exhibition. ↑
