Ugo Rondinone — yellow blue red mountain
Ugo Rondinone

yellow blue red mountain

2016

A towering stack of smooth, naturally formed stones painted in vivid yellow, blue, and red rises from a concrete base, creating a striking interplay between the organic and the artificial. Rondinone's bold application of primary colors transforms humble, earthbound materials into a totemic sculpture that feels simultaneously ancient and contemporary. The work evokes both the meditative tradition of cairn-building and a childlike joy in color, inviting viewers to reconsider the boundary between nature and human intervention.
