To The DEVA -- " Death Valley National Park"
Miner and Penquin.......Goldwell Open Air Museum..Rhyolite, Nevada USA
This is the best I can do for comparison...........is the creosote at his feet.
Just outside of Rhyolite, Nevada, a spectacular ghost town off the road leading to Death Valley, California, an unlikely group of prominent Belgian artists created a self-described art situation consisting of seven outdoor sculptures that are colossal not only in their scale, but in their placement within the vast upper Mojave desert.
For the casual visitor, the experience of the Goldwell Open Air Museum is enigmatic.
They encounter a life-size, ghostly interpretation of the Last Supper painting by Leonardo Da Vinci; a 25-foot high pink woman made of cinder blocks; a 24-foot high steel prospector accompanied by a penguin; a blossoming tangle of gleaming chrome car parts; and an exquisitely carved winged woman reaching for the sun from high atop a wooden pillar.
There are few interpretative materials to speak of.
One is left to experience the site as a natural expression of the desert landscape.
