Apple commissioned eight two-dimensional sculptures for its R&D campus front lawn in 1993. Officially, the "icon garden" fulfilled an agreement to have art in Apple's front park (and paid homage to Susan Kare). Shortly after Steve Jobs returned in 1997, he stripped the garden.
As for where the icons ended up: it's anyone's guess! There really isn't any conclusive info on this, and most people fall back on one of three non-definitive theories:
a) They were scrapped. b) They're archived somewhere. c) Chuck Norris.
