Canoe Dig It?

Meh, not so much. This work of art by Nancy Rubins is on display in front of the Albright-Knox Art Gallery and consists of 66 used aluminum boats, from canoes to jon boats and measures 60'x40'x40'. The piece is officially called Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Monochrome I, Built to Live Anywhere, at Home Here which, I find, quite long and boring.
