Ugo Rondinone violet white green orange yellow blue mountain, 2026
Painted stone, stainless steel and concrete
189 x 23 x 32 cm
Ugo Rondinone works from a large, converted church in Harlem, New York (formerly the Mount Moriah Baptist Church), which serves as both his studio and living space. This new body of work—colloquially referred to as “Harlem Mountains,” in part due to the location in which the artist creates them—derives from his ongoing series of vertically stacked, painted stones whose vivid surfaces merge references to geological formations with abstract composition.
