Knife

Cleveland Museum of Art

The sculpture Knife by artist Damien Hirst features a metal object. The object has a dark-colored, elongated base with a pointed tip, resembling a bulbous shape. A long, narrow metal piece extends from the base, with a handle wrapped in thin, coiled metal wire. The handle is topped with a short, thin metal piece. A metal piece with a wide, flat base and two pointed protrusions on either side connects the handle to the base. The background is a gradient of black to gray to white. The sculpture appears to be made of metal and has a dark, muted color palette with visible signs of rust or decay.
