There he combined them with urban debris-corroded wires, sheet metal, bicycle parts, tubes, tires, multicolored tissue, glass and feathers-to make statuettes. In 1972, authorities stumbled upon his menagerie of elephants, horses, monkeys, birds, and figures and eventually decided to support his project at what is now the second most-visited site in India after the Taj Mahal. Authorative text, an interview, 140 illustrations, and a detailed site map pay homage to this singular fantasy universe. This book is published for the exhibition at the American Folk Art Museum (April 4-September 24, 2006).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51895425532192,"sku":"NEW2080305182","price":102.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/619EN0D5TDL.jpg?v=1782034328","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/nek-chands-outsider-art-the-rock-garden-of-chandigarh-2080305182","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
