We just learned about the sculpture La Grande Vitesse - Alexander Calders.
Another famous American sculpture is S, metal made by John Chamberlain in 1959 in Washington DC.
Chamberlain was born in Indiana and went to art school in Chicago.
He was most famous for making sculptures that were out of metal, mostly using rusted old car parts.
Some people thought he was one of the best makers of abstract art out there, and his art was put into museums next to other famous artists like Picasso.
One problem that he had was that because his art was made of old rusted car parts, not everyone knew it was art.
At a museum one time someone thought his artwork was just junk, so they took it and threw it away.
