First Utah, then Romania, then California. For those who have yet to hear, these are the locations where mysterious monoliths have appeared, seemingly out of thin air, only to subsequently vanish. Each 10 to 12 feet tall, the first one emerged in the Utah desert on November 18 and vanished on November 27. The second monolith appeared outside the Romanian city of Piatra Neamt on November 27 and disappeared on December 2. The third and most recent of the monoliths appeared at the top of Pine Mountain in Atascadero, California, on December 2 and was taken down on December 3.
While conspiracy theorists have claimed that anyone from government surveillance specialists to extraterrestrials may be responsible for the monoliths, it’s a group of community artists who have claimed credit. Known as “The Most Famous Artist,” the group posted a photo of the monolith on their Instagram account saying only “monolith-at-a-service.com.” The photo of the three-sided metal monolith included specs of the artwork noting: “Authentic dimensions and museum quality materials; edition of 3+1 artist proof; delivery and installation included; Blockchain certification of authenticity, signed and dated ‘The Most Famous Artists 2020’” The monolith comes with a hefty price tag, however, $45,000, and a four to six week delivery timeframe. It remains to be seen if any more monoliths will pop up, or if the group feels as though they’ve done enough marketing.
