Michael Heizer
Michael Heizer is a contemporary artist specializing primarily in large-scale installation works and earth art (or land art). Heizer was born in Berkeley, California in 1944 and, after an early career in painting and sclutping, began to produce large-scale earthworks in the late 1960s. After a rather productive period extending into the early 1980s, he retired to rural Nevada to work on his largest work yet, City, an enormous complex in the rural desert of Lincoln County, Nevada that is not yet open to the public. Heizer's work on City continues to this day, and is supported by the Dia Art Foundation through a grant from the Lannan Foundation.
