Bliz-aard Ball Sale, a performance piece in which David Hammons situates himself alongside street vendors in downtown Manhattan in order to sell snowballs which are priced according to size. This act serves both as a parody on commodity exchange and a commentary on the capitalistic nature of art fostered by art galleries, while putting a satirical premium on ‘whiteness’.
