Chris Burden, the guy has done some real amazing-head-scratching art works.. The motorcycle in the background is started up daily and the rear wheel is put against that huge wheel and the engine is gunned until the BIG wheel spins very quickly and I might add , with a bit of menace. Then the bike is pulled away, engine shut down, and the big ole wheel just spins and spins.
I don't ask questions, its just pretty great. The only requirement is that you must appreciate revving engines and spinning wheels. If so, you will like this piece.

The bike is a "Montgomery Ward" original, ( M.W. was a kind of Sears dept. store back in the day.)

I can't tell you anything more about the 914 than you already know: ie. It has been repainted, the hood badge is all wrong, the bumpers might not be stock and some of the gauges don't exactly match. It is a rather static work compared with "The Big Wheel" but I like how he equates the 914's odd-ness and uniqueness and rare-ness to a meteorite . Ha ha thats true! Chris Burden is based in California btw.
