John Waters on why he hates hammers | MoMA BBC | THE WAY I SEE IT

In this episode of our new radio series collaboration with the BBC, "The Way I See It," filmmaker and provocateur John Waters looks at a painting by one of his favorite artists: Lee Lozano’s "Untitled" (1963)-an eight-foot painting of a hammer. Waters discusses this powerful, emotional, threatening, and phallic work with Ann Temkin, The Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis Chief Curator of Painting and Sculpture.
