Derrick Adams: Cool Down Pop (RWB)

Regular price Regular price $15,000

This painted aluminum multiple by Derrick Adams comprises a removable red-white-and-blue ice pop emerging at an angle from a square black aluminum base, like a rocket ready to launch. The “popsicle stick” is inscribed with the artist’s signature and the work’s edition number. The imagery of this refreshing summer treat resonates with Adams’s consistent interest in celebrating and expanding the dialogue around contemporary Black life and culture through an iconography of joy, leisure, and the pursuit of happiness. The multiple relates to a series of functional benches that take the same recognizable form, each titled Cool Down Bench, which are intended to evoke memories, spur contemplation, or simply provide a place to rest.
