David Herbert is an American artist who builds rough sculptures of iconic figures, objects, and landscapes. He chooses American icons that everybody recognizes, but transforms them in order to get a different meaning. In this case the Model T stands for the revolution that mass-motoring brought along and the role it played during the trek west in the thirties. The house represents California and in fact it is the house from the 1960 movie Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock. The T-Ford, called Western Model, can be seen in the Dutch city The Hague until the end of August after which the T will certainly go on tour.
