Wheatfield – A Confrontation

“Wheatfield – A Confrontation” (1982) by Agnes Denes

This artwork yielded 1,000 lbs. of wheat in the middle of New York City to comment on “human values and misplaced priorities”. The harvested grain then traveled to 28 cities worldwide in “The International Art Show for the End of World Hunger” and was symbolically planted around the globe.
