Nick Cave\u2019s latest body of work \u2013 filling both of Jack Shainman<\/a>\u2019s Chelsea galleries \u2013 was inspired when Cave was stunned to find a spittoon in the shape of a African-American man\u2019s head at a flea market. Since then, he\u2019s collected similar figures, like this lawn jockey who recalls the legend of a slave boy who froze to death while holding a lantern for George Washington\u2019s historic Delaware River crossing.

Nick Cave, Fear Not, Therefore (detail), mixed media including cast-iron figure, shoe shine chair, ceramic birds, strung beads and metal flowers, 77 x 44 x 30 inches, 2014.\\<\/em><\/p>\n
