- Summary
- "Art can appear in the most unexpected places. Muffler men, for example, have become one of the most striking and remarkable of recent folk art creations. From Walla Walla to Daytona quirky mannikins constructed from discarded automobile mufflers are popping up across America. Cobbled together as business signposts, these comical sculptures are sprouting outside automotive repair shops everywhere." "This book documents the widespread appeal of muffler men as a form of occupational art that enriches the workplace, the local environment, and now the art gallery."--Jacket.
