Hank Willis Thomas, Hand of God, 2017

After a month of surprise defeats and brilliant performances, the World Cup final has come down to France and Croatia. As we wait for the winner to be decided at last today, we are reflecting on some of the tournament’s most memorable moments. None more so than Maradona’s

 audacious punch against England in 1986, dubbed as the “Hand of God” by the man himself. Displayed during Hank Willis Thomas’ exhibition The Beautiful Game at Ben Brown Fine Arts in London last year, his chromed sculpture immortalizes the infamous goal, and provides a moment where sports and art overlap sublimely.
