The works in this exhibition span critical moments in Charles Ross’s career and have never previously been exhibited.
Charles Ross: Mansions of the Zodiac is an exhibition of Ross’s artwork inspired by sunlight, starlight, time, and planetary motion. Ross emerged in the 1960s with the advent of minimalism and earthworks, and is considered one of the preeminent figures of land art. This exhibition opens as Ross nears the completion of his earth/sky work, Star Axis, a monumental architectonic sculpture, and naked eye observatory located on the eastern plains of New Mexico.
