Found it by looking in Nevada… I got lucky thinking this scrub desert looked like Area 51 and happened to go north.
My thoughts are one of the Iraq nuclear or bio weapons sites, somewhere deep in the desert. The terrain is almost, but not quite right for it.
‘City’ by Michael Heizer, Lincoln County, NV
“City,” a 1972 sculpture by Michael Heizer in Nevada’s Garden Valley.
Groan!
“City” landscape artwork by Michael Heizer.
About 130 miles north of Las Vegas, Nevada
I groan because:
1- In searching for this, I came across another desert landscape artwork he created (Double Negative) – but I didn’t follow up on this one!…
2- I scanned New Mexico, Arizona, and Southern California – Nevada was next on my list…
3- The place isn’t all that far away from where I grew up!…
Michael Heizer’s “City” in Lincoln County Nebraska.
The “structure” is a piece of earth art, located in Nevada at approximately 38N 115.30W. Needed the hint to find it, although I did look in Nevada prior to the hint – just did not see this location!
