Junkpile Art makes a national statement in Argentina

I'd heard about this guy.
His name is Carlos Regazzoni.
For the last 30 plus years he's been working with the junk, the detritus, the left over, the fallen, no good pieces of metal that abound in a modern society. He sculpts. He makes art. He lives and works behind the grand and once more famous train station called Retiro. Perhaps the largest covered railroad station in the Western Hemisphere, the veins of this great city pour out into the suburbs from this station. It's downtrodden now, a reflection of its former self still shows opulence and status. A modern,urban slum nestles next to it. Regazzoni has more work than he can deal with. In fact, his fame has grown from his earliest days as a day laborer selling keroscene from a cart to his invitation by the France government to live in Paris 6 months a year, next to a Train station and warehouses and do his art.
I'd seen metal sculpture of horses and men, indians and lances encountering each other. They were way out in the country at a location without fanfare or even a note indicating who'd done the work.I stopped my bike, went over to view the collection much closer. They conveyed a lot of tension and aggression in the field of battle.
 It wasn't until I was in Azul, Provincia de Buenos Aires and saw similar work with the theme of Sancho Panza and Don Quijote. It so happens that Azul has the largest collection of original works on that subject of Don Quijote and Regazzoni was commissioned to do some sculpture of the Don Quijote/Sancho Panza theme. Here are photos of the scenes showing what to me implies fighting on the frontier between indians and troops, whether they be gauchos or army.
