Feels like Mimi Smith's clothing and clock sculptures are the most radical. Clothing and clocks are perfect forms for feminist conceptual art.
Mimi Smith's sculptural clock, Don't Turn Back (1985) employs words and phrases to address the timely issue of reproductive rights.

Not one of his Playscapes, but Noguchi’s “peach pit” at Storm King is one of our family’s favorites. Fun to climb inside!
