Cadillac Ranch

Amarillo, Texas

A legendary public art installation featuring ten half-buried, graffiti-covered Cadillacs nose-down in a Texas pasture. Created in 1974, it invites visitors to bring spray paint and leave their own colorful mark. It remains one of the most iconic, hands-on roadside attractions along historic Route 66.

Ozymandias on the Plains

Amarillo, Texas

This quirky art installation features a giant pair of disembodied concrete legs wearing athletic socks, standing in a West Texas field. Inspired by Percy Bysshe Shelley's famous poem, it is a playful tribute to ruin and vanity. Local pranksters frequently repaint the socks to match sports teams or causes.
