“Last year William H. Haussner, a Baltimore art collector, went to a local auction and, for $3,400, bought a painting. But he could not take it home with him because this one was housed in a 55-foot crate. It was, in fact, the world’s second largest painting (largest: Civil War panaorama in Atlanta). So Haussner sent it off to storage.” (LIFE, 1953)
“In the history of pointless videos on YouTube non has been more obscure to just about everyone in the world than this one. It is taken from the side of a busy freeway somewhere in the States and shows cars whipping past part of a Jeff Koons sculpture that has fallen off a truck. If you happened to be snowed in or your cat has died you might like to give it a go. You can see the sculpture the round green thing is part of here.” (overthenet.com)

![“Starting in 2006, [Aram] Bartholl created a series of six-meter tall sculptures of the iconic red marker used by Google Maps. The artist had recognized that the familiar 20-pixel graphic used by Google casts shadows on the widely consulted digital maps as if they were physical objects in real space. Likewise, when the map is switched to satellite mode, the virtual pins seem to become part of the city.” (architzer.com)](http://25.media.tumblr.com/4d0e2be8b5dee8f9f7ba6185ad7b60a8/tumblr_mo8ib5jQNH1r0b8ceo1_1280.jpg)
