Sam Durant's works address utopias and their failures. They cross past events to create relationships between art-historical, pop-cultural and political phenomena that have come to define popular, particularly American, culture since the 1970s.

The enormous enthusiasm with which Durant's work has been received in Germany thus far is surprising on first sight, given his preoccupation with specifically American issues. However, when considered in relation to Andy Warhol, Robert Rauschenberg, Jasper Johns, Dennis Hopper, or Mike Kelley, Durant extends Germany's fascination with American art.
