Lectrolux Cafe - Baker, NV
You'll see a number of tongue-in-cheek "fence-art" sculptures along the roads leading to and from Baker. Termed "Post-Impression Art" by local residents (because the art is mounted on fence posts). The movement began in the mid-1990's when "Doc" Sherman created the "Permanent Wave Society." This sculpture consisted of rubber gloves filled with cement (get it? permanent wave?) and mounted on the tops of fence posts. Since then Doc and others have added spontaneous contributions of whimsical art on fence posts along roads around Baker. Doc's artistic endeavors have been amazing therapy for him as he was partially paralyzed by a crippling stroke. He continues to create new pieces on occasion and his sense of humor and creativity have brought many smiles and laughter to residents and travelers alike.
