Alex Israel's 'Heaven' Installation Is Only for Those on the Slopes

Following his ‘Noir‘ exhibition at Gagosian Los Angeles, Alex Israel returns with a partnership with Aspen One and the Aspen Art Museum. The renowned artist has created an ode to Old Hollywood within the space of Aspen Mountain’s iconic Ruthie’s restaurant. Entitled ‘Heaven,’ this is dubbed as the world’s first-ever ski-in/ski-out art installation.

Israel’s immersive installation explores celebrity memory in the social media age. This landmark collaboration showcases over 30 life-size portraits, extending from custom-designed lift tickets to a full-scale mountain venue.

This exhibit is part of Aspen One’s commitment to bringing contemporary art in unexpected on-mountain settings through its ’Art in Unexpected Places’ program, which is entering its 20th year.

‘Heaven’ remains open through February 23. It will reopen again from March 7-16. Visit Aspen One’s website for more information.
