Long Term Parking, Contemporary sculpture at Château de Montcel in Jouy-en-Josas, France.
The sculpture consists of 59 stacked car bodies embedded within 1,600 tons of concrete, forming a structure that reaches 60 feet in height.
French-American artist Arman created this monumental installation in 1982 with financial support from Jean Hamon, investing over one million francs in its construction.
The structure incorporates vehicles from various manufacturers, including Citroën, Renault, and Fiat, reflecting the automotive landscape of twentieth-century France.
The sculpture stands at coordinates 48.7665, 2.17274 and remains accessible to visitors who can examine the gradual deterioration of cars within concrete.
The concrete structure contains fluorescent-painted vehicles that were specifically selected to match the proportions of cars circulating during the 1980s.
