    Maybe itīs a political comment to the concept of downsizing...at a certain point a downsized company just donīt run anymore.

    What is offensive is that it isn't even an original idea.
    That "crush a car and call it a sculpture" has been done to death, by every other hack "artist" for 50 years.

    Give me something I can use.

    All I have to say is...

    Whatever. Not my kind of art. I'd rather drive the car than smash it.

    Don't worry, gentlemen! The car was a works prototype that would have been scraped anyway. At least it served a purpose after its destruction.

    The artist lives and works in Vorarlberg/Austria. He also had a large number of 997 made of concrete and exposed in the Bregenz Art Museum.

    Hope this helps...
    Keep up the speed!

    That's amazing....what an incredible, unbelievable and fantastic talent....I'm surprised he didn't wann'a have the ultimate experience..to feel, taste and "live" his art.....that would have been very good...
