BILL NUMBER: S8044

SPONSOR: HOYLMAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:  An act to amend the Hudson river park act, in relation
to permitting the construction of an art installation within the bounda-
ries of pier 52

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To allow the Whitney Museum to install and maintain "Day's End", a
public artwork by David Hammons, to stand on the exact site where Pier
52 once stood in the Hudson River.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: Amends the Hudson river park act, adding a new paragraph (d)
to allow the Whitney Museum to construct, maintain, and repair an art
installation entitled "Day's End" by David Hammons.

Section 2: This act shall take effect immediately.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

To enable this worthy project to proceed, this very specific authori-
zation is required.

In 1975, Gordon Matta-Clark made a series of cuts in the walls of the
Pier 52 shed in the Hudson River Park, transforming the shed into a "sun
and water temple" which he named "Day's End." The shed at Pier 52, along
with Matta-Clark's work, has since been demolished. In homage to Matta-
Clark's work and the history of New York City, David Hammons' sculpture
by the same name will consist of a life-size skeletal replica of the
Pier 52 shed where it once stood. This permanent public art installation
will be constructed and maintained by the Whitney Museum, and owned by
the Hudson River Park Trust. The sculpture may not be materially
altered, sold, leased, exchanged, donated, subjected to concession
agreement, or used for other than its original purpose without the
express authority of an act of the legislature.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately
