The work was donated to the museum in 2005,[6][7] after receiving the Julio González award in 2004.[8][9] It is part of the Glut series, started in 1986 and inspired by the junk Rauschenberg found in several cities in Texas.[2] This work is made of scrap metal and a truck toy,[2] in a composition similar to a falling plane, and it is painted in orange as a reminder of the Texan summer.[2]
