Exhibition Overview

Tools as Art, The Hechinger Collection, a traveling exhibition organized by International Arts & Artists, Washington, DC, celebrates the amazing variety of twentieth century art that represents or incorporates tools and hardware. 

This exhibition features 65 highlights from the collection that transforms familiar forms into works of great imaginative power—from hammers, saws and wrenches to such machine tools as the lathe in wood, glass, metal, paper, and stone. Other works include assemblages of found objects and building materials, as well as paintings, prints and photographs depicting all sorts of tools. From world renowned to emerging, the artists are mostly American, with notable exceptions including Arman, Fernand Léger and Oleg Kudryashov.
