TIME MACHINE 2000, by artist Hoop, Photo taken by me in New York city I think 1996 in front of the Guggenheim Museum.
Stephen Douglas “Hoop” Hooper (* 25, October 1946 † 22, September 2011 was an American artist from Clifton, New Jersey.
He produced his psychedelic unique pieces from everyday objects – mainly from automobiles. For example, he obtained a 1941 Packard Hearse with fur and sequins, or covered a Fiat 850 with empty tin cans.
Hoop was well known in the New York art scene. Thus, he was allowed to count himself among the “inner circle” around pop art artist Andy Warhol. One of his quotes was:
I have stepped into the throne room of the art world and tried to take over.
At the age of 64, he retired to his eccentric-esoteric work. His mobile artworks were presented in 2009 in the film Automorphosis.
Hoop died on the 22. September 2011 to cancer.
