Udo Rondinone’s Seven Magic Mountains

UGO RONDINONE – SEVEN MAGIC MOUNTAINS

A LARGE SCALE DESERT ARTWORK – LAS VEGAS, NEVADA

20161007_165953

Internationally renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone’s Seven Magic Mountains is a large-scale site-specific public art installation located near Jean Dry Lake and Interstate 15, approximately ten miles south of Las Vegas, Nevada. Comprised of seven towers of colorful, stacked boulders standing more than thirty feet high, Seven Magic Mountains is situated within the Ivanpah Valley adjacent to Sheep Mountain and the McCullough, Bird Spring, and Goodsprings ranges of mountains. A creative expression of human presence in the desert, Seven Magic Mountains punctuates the Mojave with a poetic burst of form and color.

20161007_170425On the drive from Joshua Tree to Las Vegas I made a detour and visited the Seven Magic Mountains. They were amazing, so cool to see in person – the scale and colour were breathtaking.
