"Still Life with Spirit and Xitle," Jimmie Durham, 2007

At the Hirshhorn Museum. Made in Mexico out of lava stone from the Xitle volcano in Mexico, acrylic paint, and a 1992 Dodge Spirit—a car that Durham says “is the fastest and roughest on the road, used by both the police and crooks all over Mexico at the time.”

Roy Lichtenstein, House I, 1996-98.

Four flat pieces, painted both sides, are joined, as the National Gallery explains, to “exploit the illusionistic effects of a third dimension. The left side of the house at once projects toward the viewer while appearing to recede into space.” But as you approach on the path from well to the left or right you see something very different.

"Graft" (not what you're thinking)

"Graft (Roxy Paine, 2008) presents two fictive but distinct species of trees—one gnarled, twisting, and irregular, the other smooth, elegant, and rhythmic—joined to the same trunk." National Gallery Sculpture Garden.
