Cadillac Ranch

Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas, is a public art installation of ten Cadillacs buried nose-first at an angle, created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez, and Doug Michels of Ant Farm. Using cars from 1949 to 1963 to trace the rise and fall of Cadillac tailfins, the work grew from the group’s interest in architecture, popular culture, and unconventional artmaking, with support from Stanley Marsh 3. Moved in 1997 as Amarillo expanded, it became an interactive public canvas where visitors add graffiti and paint. Its constantly changing surface has helped make it one of the United States’ best-known roadside artworks.
