These objects were the focus of a 1970 “People’s” show organized at Judson Memorial Church, at which Yvonne Rainer danced a version of Trio A with these objects. A sculpture called Untitled (The Pequod) is a giant, tilted one of these things, and is part of Robert Longo’s series of monochrome depictions of them. The question “Who is healed?” is near the center of a Barbara Kruger take on these objects. David Hammons designed a version of these things with Pan-African coloration. A 1989 installation by the artist Dread Scott at the Art Institute of Chicago invited visitors to stand on one of these objects and was titled What is the Proper Way to Display one of these objects. Three of these objects appear atop each other in an encaustic by a lover of Robert Rauschenberg. For 10 points, Jasper Johns often painted what patriotic objects? ■END■
