"Renowned Swiss art...According to the website:<br />"Renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone’s colorful large-scale, public artwork Seven Magic Mountains is a two-year exhibition located in the desert outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring seven thirty to thirty-five-foot high dayglow totems comprised of painted, locally-sourced boulders.<br /><br />Visible across the desert landscape along Interstate 15, Seven Magic Mountains offers a creative critique of the simulacra of destinations like Las Vegas. According to Rondinone, 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."

I'm not sure how they found out about it.Karen and Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07996775051713720768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658228421842698820.post-20903976728645870062017-04-18T23:42:12.677-05:002017-04-18T23:42:12.677-05:00It must be fairly new. Do you know who made this ...It must be fairly new. Do you know who made this art and why these fluorescent rocks were stuck in the middle of the desert (not too far from Jean)? Very weird, something of a tourist attraction, I bet.Nickie and Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11566506168550004304noreply@blogger.com
