Spine of the Earth, 1980/2024. Inquire for details.
-
The artist's photographic works of her land art installations span from intimate layered photo-drawings in the Sol Star Grid series created around her installation at the Pyramids in Giza in 1996, to her large scale triptych memorializing her major urban Land Art installation bringing a nuanced feminist intervention to the grandiose obalisque at the Washington Monument in DC in 1980.
Her works are held in numerous major collections including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Getty Trust, the Whitney Museum of American Art, LACMA and MOCA.

Sol Star
-
Lita Albuquerque layered graphs, symbols, honeycomb structures and a replica of the map of the stars she created in situ for her Sol Star desert performance at the Pyramids in Giza in 1996 to create a set of 5 photo-drawings - an ode to alternative conceptions of power and the connection between earth and the heavens.

The Washington Monument Project: The Red Pyramid was produced in 1980 on the National Mall in Washington, DC for the International Sculpture Conference. The exhibition centers on a unique composition of photographs and a sculpture in copper and pigment, reanimating this ephemeral performance work that transmuted the iconographic Washington Monument from a symbol of imperial strength to an ode to a different sort of power: cosmic, spiritual and timeless.

Rock and Pigment
1978/2023Once again in the Mojave Desert, this 1979 natural pigment-based ephemeral installation was created on a dry lake bed. In a technique that Albuquerque would repeat throughout her practice, the rocks were placed in alignment to the stars overhead to reflect the cosmos. The artist claims as her signature "the relationship between earth and sky."
