Tools as Art presents the delightful Hechinger Collection, revealing 20th century art that represents or incorporates tools or building materials, by such artists as Jim Dine, Lucas Samaras, Richard Estes, Claes Oldenburg, and Walker Evans. All of the artists whose work is featured here share the strong attachment to everyday things that undergirds so much of modern art, and it is this quality that makes their work so evocative. The nature of this attachment is explored by well-known writer Peter Hamill, in a wonderful essay that brings to bear his insights into art, the creative process, and the meaning of tools and other commonplace objects in our lives.
