Naturally formed stones have long been a focal point of the Swiss-born artist, from the monumental Human Nature (2013) at Rockefeller Center to the transcendent Seven Magic Mountains (2016) in the Nevada Desert. A new septet of similar ten-foot-tall sculptures, debuting during Zurich Art Week, continues this meditation—they reflect upon how the inner self relates to the natural world and revel in sensory experiences of color, form, and mass.
