Visit One of the World’s Largest Works of Art

Experience the sublime at Michael Heizer’s City, located just 60 miles north of Alamo. City is a landscape sculpture made of clay, sand and concrete that sprawls over 704,000 acres in the remote Nevada desert. Inspired by the pre-Columbian cities of Central and South America and Native American mound-building traditions, this massive work of art is made up of towering, angular structures that feel at once ancient and ultra-modern. Like Heizer’s other works, City is a meditation on space, form, scale and time.

“I’m building this work for later. I’m interested in making a work of art that will represent all the civilization to this point,” Heizer said of City, according to the Lannan Foundation, which helped fund the project.
