Seven Magic Mountains

Seven Magic Mountains is approximately 10 miles south of Las Vegas Boulevard and St. Rose Parkway in Henderson, Nevada, managed with the Nevada Bureau of Land Management (BLM), making free public access available for everyone. The installation site is a short distance from legendary Jean Dry Lake, where Michael Heizer and Jean Tinguely created significant sculptures in the 1960s.

The Mountain used as a public art exhibit by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, the 30-foot fluorescent "totems" stand like brightly colored beacons lighting up the desert sky. It represents Nevada as a place that celebrates and supports artists. 

Visitors can walk right up to the stacked boulders, as well as read interpretative signage, and use a cellphone to listen to an audio tour.

The place can be hot during the summer months when temperatures are often above 100 degrees.

Renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone’s colorful large-scale, public artwork Seven Magic Mountains is an exhibition located in the desert outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring seven, 30 to 35-feet high dayglow totems comprised of painted, locally-sourced boulders.

Ugo Rondinone has created seven painted boulder totems that measure up to 35 feet high in a desert art installation. Ugo Rondinone, a well-known Swiss artist, created Seven Magic Mountains, a large-scale public art installation in Nevada. It features seven dayglow totems that are 30 to 35 feet high and made of locally-sourced boulders. Seven Magic Mountains is visible along Interstate 15 in the desert and offers an artistic critique of Las Vegas' simulacra. Rondinone says that the site is symbolically and physically midway between natural and artificial.

The natural can be expressed through the desert and mountain ranges and Jean Dry Lake background. While the artificial can be expressed by highway traffic and constant movement between Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Rondinone believes the road is artificial and natural. Seven Magic Mountains was produced by Nevada Museum of Art in Reno and the Art Production Fund of New York. The installation site can be found approximately 10 miles from the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard in Henderson and St.

Rose Parkway, Reno. It is also close to Jean Dry Lake, where Jean Tinquely and Michael Heizer created their legendary land art pieces in the 1960s.

Ugo Rondinone Ugo, born in Brunnen in Switzerland in 1964, now lives in New York.

He has been embracing a wide range of media and forms for a long time. Rondinone allows himself to be formal and creates an environment that encourages a wide range of emotions. Rondinone's work is well-known for its capacity to express psychological expression and deep insight into the human condition, as well as the nature of human and natural relationships. His works, which are dominated by the natural world, romance, and existentialism simultaneously, reflect a mental trinity, that has been underpinning his work for over twenty years.
