Willie Cole (born January 3, 1955) is a contemporary American sculptor, printer, and conceptual and visual artist. His work uses contexts of postmodern eclecticism, and combines references and appropriation from African and African-American imagery. He also has used Dada's readymades and Surrealism’s transformed objects, as well as icons of American pop culture or African and Asian masks.
