Metal and Rust

Season 1 Episode 3 | 26m 47s | CC

One man’s trash can be an artist’s treasure, and the works featured are made up of found materials either discarded or assigned for only certain purposes. Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo is a line of several old Cadillacs, all standing vertically, as half of the car is submerged underground. The cars are covered with paint and observers can add their own decorative touch.
