The Ant Farm was a group of architect/designers who did all kinds of crazy stuff in the 70s. The Cadillac Ranch was their most famous and enduring installation. They moved to San Francisco but then disbanded near the end of the 70s.<br /><br />I saw a fascinating documentary about them a couple years ago - What If, Why Not? Underground Adventures With Ant Farm <br />http://www.chron.com/life/article/Film-explores-Ant-Farm-collective-s-antics-legacy-1601218.php<br /><br />I can't believe this reporter who put this together didn't at least dig up some of the history. Of course, Stanley Marsh has no shame, but then again, he is a crazy millionaire.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
