After 50 years as a work-in-progress, Michael Heizer’s City, a mile-plus long sculpture in Nevada’s Garden Valley desert, opened in September. In its creation, the American artist – best known for his exceptionally scaled and site-specific works across the United States – is said to have been inspired by visiting the site of Chichen Itza, the pre-Columbian city in Yucatan, Mexico. The piece, created using dirt, rock, sand and concrete, isn’t Heizer’s first intervention in Nevada, but definitely his buzziest. The first batch of tickets, which must be reserved in advance, sold out quickly. A new round, which will allow groups of up to six to survey the onerous scene between mid-May and early November 2023, will be available on Jan. 2. Text by @odessapaloma.
