Found art sculpture by Australian-American environmental and counterculture artist Marr Grounds.
This work was likely created in the 1960s when Grounds was active at UC Berkeley, and was involved with the counterculture movement there. At the time Grounds became friends with Ken Kesey, Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac while spending time at the City Lights Bookstore in San Francisco, CA. Grounds moved to the commune of Drop City in Colorado for a while after graduating. He went on to live and work in France, New York, Ghana, and Australia at one point co-founding an art workshop Tin Sheds on the university grounds in Sydney, Australia. There, a group of artists, architects, and engineers tried to understand and define the notion of art. Tin Shed remained open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Students of the workshop were encouraged to dream and create all manner of artworks, focusing on conceptual art.

This work consists of found wood and metal, including a car bumper and a tricycle wheel and pedals.
The sculpture measures 30.5 x 42 x 17 inches overall.
Stamped ‘MARR’ on wooden base.
