History
Seven Magic Mountains is produced by the Nevada Museum of Art and Art Production Fund. The exhibition opened May 11, 2016, and was originally slated to run for two years. Due to the tremendous success of Seven Magic Mountains since its opening, artist Ugo Rondinone has expressed a strong desire to explore ways to keep the artwork visible on his current site. Producers are continuing to work on an extension plan that will allow the Seven Magic Mountains to remain visible for the next several years.
Ugo Rondinone, born 1964 in Brunnen, Switzerland, lives and works in New York and has long embraced various forms and media. By allowing himself to be so formal, Rondinone creates the conditions for a wide emotional range. His work has been recognized for its ability to channel psychological expression and deep insights into the human condition and the relationship between humans and nature. Drawing on the natural world, romanticism and existentialism, his works encapsulate the "mental trinity" that has underpinned his art for more than twenty years.
Recent solo performances include Carre d'Art, Nimes, Boijmans van Beuningen, Rotterdam (2016); Palais de Tokyo, Paris, Secession, Vienna (2015), Rockbund Museum of Art, Shanghai, Museo Anahuacalli, Mexico (2014); Chicago Art Institute, Chicago, M Museum, Leuven (2013)
