‘Levitated Mass’, the well-travelled boulder at the centre of artist Michael Heizer’s new art work, drew the admiration of museum director Michael Govan, museum board co-chair Terry Semel, Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and other local dignitaries at a ribbon-cutting.
After opening remarks, the committee led hundreds of art lovers through the 456-foot-long (140 metres) groove that runs beneath the 21-foot-high (6.4 metres) boulder in the museum’s north lawn.
“It does make the impossible possible,” Govan told the crowd. “As Michael said to me once, when do you ever get to see the bottom of sculpture?”
The stone made its 106-mile (170 km) journey over 11 days in March, inching its way nightly on a massive heavy-duty trailer along California highways at an average speed of seven miles per hour (11 kph).
It rested in the middle of the road by day, forcing the closure of some traffic routes.
The sojourn sparked celebrations in neighbourhoods along its route and made headlines around the world. “Los Angeles is an automobile culture,” Heizer said. “What you saw was just the biggest automobile in town going down that road.”
