Jackpot 1962

John Chamberlain's 1962 sculpture, "Jackpot," is a prime example of his signature style, assemblage. The work, constructed from crushed and manipulated car parts, is a powerful commentary on the American consumer culture and the ubiquity of automobiles. Chamberlain's bold use of color, texture, and form creates a dynamic, almost chaotic visual experience. The sculpture's title, "Jackpot," suggests a sense of luck and abundance, but also hints at the potential for destruction and waste.
