Situated quite literally in the middle of nowhere, Prada Marfa is a permanently installed sculpture by artists Elmgreen and Dragset. The store contained actual Prada wares, shoes and handbags, picked out and provided by Miuccia Prada herself. This work of art was intended to never be repaired, so it might slowly degrade back into the natural landscape. Just six days after its completion, the building was broken into, its contents were stolen, and the word "Dumb" as well as the phrase "Dum Dum" were spray painted on the sides of the structure. The vandalism demonstrates the strong reaction to this the site-specific sculpture. It was quickly repaired, repainted, and restocked. The new Prada purses do not have bottoms and instead hide parts of a security system that alerts authorities if the bags are moved. While now protected by security cameras, its destination would make it difficult to defend and its awnings are riddled with bullet holes. The Texas Department of Transportation is currently discussing the fate of the installation.
