I chose American artist Chris Burden simply for his Metropolis II work which took 4 years to make. I would LOVE to have something like this around my house. He is a performance, sculpture and installation artist who studied moved to California in 1965 to receive degrees at both Pomona College and and the University of California. He worked from the idea that "the truly important, viable art of the future would not be with objects; the things that you could simply sell and hang on your wall. " I've always been into building things and I still love toys when I first saw this I was amazed and wanted one right away.
