A vast sculpture in the Nevada desert is finished at last

“City”, a sculpture project in the Nevada desert, is so big and has taken so long that it has become something of a myth in the art world. Some observers thought it would never be completed. It is more than a mile and a half long and half a mile wide (2.4km x 800 metres). Yet “City” sits so discreetly in the landscape that from a distance it is almost invisible. Only when you step into it, and walk the length of the pebbled cinder base, do you get a sense of how vast the artwork is.
