Domino Sugar Baby (From Art Daily)

____________________________________________________________________________________

Kara E. Walker has confected A SUBTLETY
or The Marvelous Sugar Baby: An Homage to the unpaid and overworked Artisans 
who have refined our Sweet tastes from the cane fields to the Kitchens  of the New World 
on the Occasion of the demolition of the Domino Sugar Refining Plan






















The site is the former Domino Sugar Factory (Williamsburg, Brooklyn).

The photographer is, presumably, the artist Kara E. Walker.

The title of her sculpture is ALL the text above the image.

The sugar-coated sphinx is on exhibit until July 10, 2014.


 






Ms. Walker's image page is here.
