"Hammers and Nails," 1980, glass.

Ubiquitous and drab though they may seem by nature, tools are both necessary for individual daily functions and testaments to the historical success of our societies. In the Louisiana Art & Science Museum’s latest exhibit, our quotidian tools get a makeover, transformed into objects of beauty, insight, and wit. ReTooled: Highlights from the Hechinger Collection features work by twenty eight visionary artists and their artistic interpretations of everything from a lawn mower to a paint can. lasm.org.
