Los Angeles's True Rock Star!

The boulder in its quarry (from LACMA's blog).

Oh how I wish I were in LA to see Michael Heizer's gargantuan boulder finally appear at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.  LACMA has always been one of my favorite museums.  I love its vibe and I've seen some really outstanding exhibitions there.

And I love the idea of this fantastically ambitious work titled Levitated Mass.

Here's some press on the boulder's journey, and LACMA's blog about the work.  While the cost is staggering ($10 million!), I love this devotion to an artist that enables him to carry out this monumental Earthwork.
