2014 artist interview series ugo rondinone


Ugo Rondinone (born 1964) is a Swiss-born mixed-media artist living in New York. He first came to international attention during the 1990s with discursive and diverse installations. Spanning sculpture, painting, video, sound and photography his works frequently employ the experiential qualities of the everyday reflecting on the boundaries between fiction and reality.

Life & Work

Ugo Rondinone Ugo Rondinone abcartistlist

Ugo Rondinone was born in 1964 to Italian parents in the resort town of Brunnen, Switzerland. He studied at the Hochschule fur Angewandte Kunst in Vienna, from 1986 to 1990 and in 1998 moved to New York City where he continues to live and work.

Rondinone emerged onto the international art scene in the 1990s and has become one of the leading visual artists of his generation. Many of his pieces coax the viewer into a meditative state like the blurred, brightly colored, concentric rings of his target-shaped paintings; or his strictly black and white landscapes of gnarled trees that seem to bristle with energy. His large rainbow signs are just as enigmatically alluring with their imperative affirmations of “Hell, Yes!” or “Our Magic Hour.” These signs seem to point to some hidden aspect of our reality and history. One sign, “Dog Days Are Over,” presented in 1996 at Zurich's Museum fur Gegenwartskunst, proclaims an end to a period of turmoil, but what that period is remains unclear. The signs encapsulate and make palpable an unnamed collective desire, and, in turn, inspire a new one: to understand why this hour, for example, is so magical.

Ugo Rondinone ugo rondinone recreates clouds mountains and waterfalls

In 2015, Rondinone proposed Seven Magic Mountains, an installation of seven neon stone totems painted in artificially bright yellows, purples and other colors, constructed from car-size stone cut from a Nevada quarry and stacked 32 feet high. The public installation, along Interstate 15 just south of Las Vegas, may open in late 2015 or in early 2016, and will remain on display for two years.
