perhaps the works that stood out most to me at the whitney biennial were those of david hammons and lee bontecou. david hammons' sculpture, "untitled 1992", was tucked away in a corner. the sculpture consisted of all types of strange materials, ranging from burned hair to a pearl to some red yarn. upon the first glance, it simply looks like a grotesque spider with way too many legs. if you are truly invested in finding details, however, as you circle the spider-esque construction, you will notice all sorts of small treasures.
lee bontecou's displayed work was not a full-room installation, but rather a sculptural wall piece. she uses all types of untraditional materials to realize her visions. her piece is executed with such great attention to detail. this is perhaps the strongest parallel between hammons and bontecou. though they use radically different materials, their works both display tremendous attention to detail.
