Gordon Matta-Clark was an American artist best known for site-specific artworks he made in the 1970s. He died on August 27, 1978 at just 35 years old. The Whitney, in collaboration with Hudson River Park, developed a permanent public art project by David Hammons. Entitled Day's End (2014–21) it was inspired by an artwork of the same name by Matta-Clark, who cut five openings into the dilapidated Pier 52 shed in 1975, transforming it into a "cathedral of light."
The installation is located in Hudson River Park along the southern edge of Gansevoort Peninsula, directly across from the Whitney Museum.
