Go Score Foam Hand
By Tyler Lafreniere
$15.00
Packaged and singed edition of 240
The #1 foam hand was designed in 1978 by former high school teacher Geral Fauss. Since then the foam hand has become a staple of sporting events and the highest selling item of sports memorabilia.
In this piece, artist Tyler Lafreniere has created an edition of this established symbol of sports fandom which removes any association to team or event. The viewer is left to create their own allegiances with the ambiguously assertive message “GO GO GO SCORE SCORE SCORE”.
