2 min readJan 7, 2020
Dustin Shuler (1948–2010) was an American pop art sculptor and mixed-media artist, best known for a 1989 piece called Spindle, a 50-foot steel spike with eight cars impaled on it that became emblematic of the city of Berwyn, Illinois, where it was installed for two decades in the parking lot of a popular shopping mall. Most of Shuler’s major works consisted of outdoor art installations, and the majority of his sculptures used elements of consumer-goods detritus.
