Located outside of Las Vegas, Nevada – Ugo Rondinone’s large-scale art piece Seven Magic Mountains is a dash of color in the desert landscape. Standing more than thirty feet high the seven towers consist of stacked boulders – each weighing roughly 40,000 pounds. According to the artist, “the location is physically and symbolically mid-way between the natural and the artificial: the natural is expressed by the mountain ranges, desert, and Jean Dry Lake backdrop, and the artificial is expressed by the highway and the constant flow of traffic between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.” The exhibit is scheduled to be standing for two years and definitely seems worth a visit!
