Day's End is a 2021 architectural art piece steeped in ephemerality by the American conceptual and performance artist David Hammons. The ghostly architectural exoskeletal outline of a pier was commissioned by the Whitney Museum of American Art and inspired and created in tribute to the 1975 intervention instillation piece Days End, Conical Intersect by Gordon Matta-Clark (1943 - 1978) where the "anarchitect"[1] made five incisions into pier 52 along the Hudson River (and today Hudson River Park) which stood on the same spot previously.[2][3][4][5]
