"David Hammons is a master of minor artistic intervention that triggers major effects: "The less I do, the more artist I am." His performance, 'Bliz-aard Ball Sale' of 1983 on Cooper Square in New York is an excellent example to underline this statement. Standing between street vendors, Hammons offered snow balls, sorted by size, for sale. The artist wanted to illustrate that given the right setting, anything can be commercialised. This was also a reference to the art market, functioning along similar principals, where even seemingly senseless objects are given a price."
