In 2011, Kienholz's work was visited with renewed attention in Los Angeles partly as a result of the "Pacific Standard Time" series of exhibitions, which saw his powerful 1972 installation "Five Car Stud" reinstalled at LACMA. The oversized installation is framed by five vehicles parked in a circle, their headlights illuminating a stark racial hatred castration scene. It was exhibited in Los Angeles and Germany in 1972, then purchased by a Japanese collector and kept in storage for almost 40 years, known only through documentary photos from those exhibitions. In September 2011, it was re-installed at LACMA. At Art Basel 2012, it was purchased by the Prada Foundation.
