9 Prada Marfa

Another piece of artwork is Prada Marfa, which can be found near Marfa, Texas. It's a permanently installed sculpture that was created by Elmgreen and Dragset and that has been around since 2005. It looks like an actual Prada store, as there are even shoes and handbags (from the fall/winter collection of 2005) in the two windows.

However, this isn't a real shop. It's art, and it suddenly just appears when travelers are driving down a desert highway, surrounded by only neutral and natural elements.
