M.” and “The Silhouette—4 A. M.” by Edward Steichen. Henri Cartier-Bresson photographed a blurry artist walking between two of these objects and holding another of them. The artistic duo Gilbert & George call their works “living” examples of these objects. Works like Floor Burger by Claes Oldenburg are called “soft” examples of these objects. A type of “park” or “garden” named for housing these objects includes Storm King and one outside the Hirshhorn Museum.
