"In the 1970s and 1980s, Noah Purifoy was one of Los Angeles’s most successful artists. But in 1989, he moved to the desert and began work on his outdoor museum. On 10 acres of land, he crafted more than 10 acres' worth of sculptures, assemblages, and installations mostly from found material. The works have mostly been left to the elements since Purifoy passed away in 2004, but the weather-beaten look just adds to the charm. It has to be seen to be believed."
