Cadillac Ranch
Amarillo, Texas
built 1974
Created by an art collective called The Ant Farm, Cadillac Ranch is an iconic art piece located along the Route 66 highway in Texas. Ten Cadillac cars in a line are half-buried, nose-down, in the middle of a field. Over the decades, tourists have torn off parts of the cars and covered them with innumerable layers of spray paint. In an era when Cadillac cars were a symbol of luxury and wealth, Cadillac Ranch was a commentary on materialist values. |
