Daniel Arsham Bronze Eroded Basketball, 2019

Bronze
Literature: In his ‘Fictional Archaeology’ series, Daniel Arsham presents petrified objects, usually modern technological gadgets, as he imagines they will appear when dug up and examined by generations of post-apocalyptic humans. Here, in an eerie rainbow of patinated bronze, Arsham renders a Spalding basketball, a plaything, into a metal antiquity worthy of investigation, rather than a mere toy.
