Werner Horvath's contribution in the "landfillart"-project:

"Linz, European Capital of Culture 2009. Out: Adolf Hitler. In: The Youth of Linz".

Acrylic and oil on oldtimer - hub caps, 2009.

Landfillart is an international effort encompassing one-thousand-forty-one (1,041) artists to claim a piece of rusted metal garbage and create fine art.

The 1,041 pieces of rusted metal are actually old automobile hub caps from the 1930’s through the 1970’s.  Each hub cap, after being cleaned and primed, is affectionately called a “metal canvas.”
