I'll start off this thread with sculptures made of stacked chairs. You may disagree, but to me the greatest practitioner of stacked chair sculpture is Doris Salcedo of Colombia:

Doris Salcedo is the number one sculptist IMO but Japanese chair sculptist Tadashi Kawamata is trying to surpass her:

Here are examples of skilled stacked chair artists who create masterpieces without realizing it.

Of course there's more to stacked items other than bicycles and chairs. For instance, there's artistry in stacked dishes.

There's stacked glassware apart from dishes:

There's artistically stacked coins:
