Abstract
The artist David Hammons’s work The Holy Bible , Old Testament (2002) is a thick tome, bound in black leather, with gilded edges. Along the spine in gold tooling are the words “The Holy Bible” and “Old Testament.” Rather than resting on a shelf, however, this item sits on a pedestal in a museum, safely preserved behind Plexiglass.
