Strange. Especially since whoever erected it probably had no idea if it would ever even be seen, I would imagine. Off the wall....

I don’t think it matches the background in the movie scenes that featured the monolith. And the movie monolith was wider. But maybe it was shot in the general area. It’s possible, maybe likely, that a helicopter would have been the only way to deliver it. Well, somebody had money and the ambition to spend that money.Originally posted by Ron Kelley View Post

Wonder how long it’s been there and if done by an artist, wonder how they expected it to be discovered?Child of the tidesComment

It's very reflective: Not rusted. So what's the material? I would bet that it is not a monolith: Meaning that it has a shell.Michigan Yooper

Interesting! Although they’re not disclosing the exact location, it is already in the public domain. Here it is on Google Earth (takes a while to load) and Google Maps respectively:

It has apparently been there since sometime after August 2015. Some folks are remarking on the resemblance to works by the minimalist artist John McCracken, but he’s not known for placing works in such remote locations and in any case he died in 2011. This is one of his:
Others are speculating that it may be by the Los Angeles based artist Petecia Le Fawnhawk, who is very much known for minimalist sculptures in remote desert areas. Here’s some stuff from her website and her Instagram account and she has produced some monolith. Note that the sculpture I have arrowed is not the monolith in Utah… I just included it as an indication of the kinds of places her work has been positioned.
