Mike Rivamonte’s junk robot sculptures are unmissable. Each embodies the spirit of the age its parts were born in. And, best of all, you can buy one.

I saw these recently. They are the most beautiful things I have seen in a long time. So well thought out, each part so appropriately selected, not a bad design decision among them. I love them.
I requested a pricelist: $7,000-$10,000.
If I had it..
Breathtaking.
These are great robots!
