Tractor by Charles Ray

I don´t know about you but I like to visit art galleries and exhibitions on my spare time when not chasing odd crawlers. This weekend I went to the Moderna Museet (Museum of Modern Art) in Stockholm Sweden to see the exhibition Sculpture after Sculpture with works of Katharina Fritsch, Jeff Koons, and Charles Ray. To my big surprise I stumbled on real size aluminium model of a Cletrac by artist Charles Ray. The artist spent several years dismanteling a real Cletrac and made clay models of every part including interior engine parts and recast them in aluminium before putting everything together again. An incredible work but in a way a vaste of time.

Amazing amount of work. I would have just spray painted the original one with some silver paint

Waste of time and aluminum, in my opinion. Looks like a junkyard piece was the original, note the missing front idler and section of track. If you were to spend that much time, I would think you would make one thats at least complete and original.  I guess I just don't get "art"

What's the idea?
