Overgrown and sad...

Because the place is basically abandoned it is a little hard to notice when driving by (At first glance it almost looks like an old car junk yard). The sculptures are still outside but many are hard to get to because of very tall grass and weeds everywhere. The only easy ones to see are those near the building.
It would definitely be better to visit this in the winter when the grass is shorter.

It's cool if you don't mind walking through thigh high grass.

Arkansas metal worker and artist Finton Shaw, 65, who just died in May 2012, has a roadside studio displaying his scrap art assemblages and welded works. He'd been working on a monument to Bill Clinton since 2006 - with a 9 1/2 ft. tall adult Bill, a seated boy Bill, and "Momo," an African in traditional garb representing Clinton's philanthropic outreach.
