David Mach and his coat hanger sculptures, especially the silver back gorilla, have been generating lots of praise from the internet today. Boingboing woke me up with it this morning.
When it comes to coat hanger art, there's only one for me- Dan Steinhilber's untitled installation (2002) at the Hirschhorn in Washington, DC. This piece always made me think of a dense flock of birds changing direction mid-flight. The application of the material is whimsical and ingenious, very Tim Hawkinson-esque.
