Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation in Ivanpah Valley, along the far southern end of Las Vegas Boulevard.
[4] Rondinone had previously created Human Nature, an installation in Rockefeller Center that exhibited stone figures, as he wanted to show "something raw within an artificial environment".
[1][3][6] The sculptures are between 30 and 35 ft (9.1 and 10.7 m) tall and are inspired by the hoodoos in the Western United States, where the installation is located.
The 33 locally sourced boulders are held together by a backbone and are covered in two layers of Day-Glo, which is activated by the sun.
[7] The project cost $3.5 million and was sponsored by Aria Resort and Casino and International Game Technology.
