Large-Scale Desert Art Installation Near Las Vegas Unveiled
Seven Magic Mountains on View for Two Years
LAS VEGAS -- Art Production Fund and Nevada Museum of Art on May 9 unveiled Seven Magic Mountains, a large-scale, site-specific public artwork by Ugo Rondinone that has been nearly five years in the making. The installation, comprised of seven individual towering sculptures, is situated on the far southern end of #lasvegas Boulevard along Interstate 15, approximately a half hour from downtown #lasvegas. Located approximately 10 miles south of the intersection of #lasvegas Boulevard and St. Rose Parkway in Henderson, Nev., the two-year installation will be on view beginning May 11, 2016.
Mediating between geological formations and abstract compositions, Rondinone’s Seven Magic Mountains consists of locally-sourced limestone boulders stacked vertically in groups ranging between three and six. Each stone boasts a different fluorescent color; each individual totem stands 25-30 feet high. The artwork extends Rondinone’s long-running interest in natural phenomena and their reformulation in art. The titles and forms of his paintings and sculptures have frequently evoked primordial phenomena such as air, moons, the sun and the cosmos. Referring concurrently to the natural world, romanticism, and existentialism, Seven Magic Mountains encapsulates a sort of mental trinity that has underpinned the artist’s work for more than two decades. In a new iteration of themes and materials, Seven Magic Mountains creates a sense of romantic minimalism.
