![]() ![]() Person standing in the middle of Spiral Jetty, viewed from the shore Depending upon the water level of the Great Salt Lake, the sculpture is sometimes visible and sometimes submerged. It forms a 1,500-foot-long (460 m), 15-foot-wide (4.6 m) counterclockwise coil originally jutting from the shore of the lake, though due to the drying of the lake, as of 2022 a mile of lakebed separates Spiral Jetty from the shore. The sculpture is built of mud, precipitated salt crystals, and basalt rocks. There are no facilities at the site so visitors must carry out any waste with them. In order to preserve the work, Dia Art Foundation asks that visitors do not take existing rocks from the artwork, make fire pits, or trample vegetation. Since its initial construction, those interested in its fate have dealt with questions of proposed changes in land use in the area surrounding the sculpture. In 1999, the artwork was donated to the Dia Art Foundation and is one of 12 locations and sites they manage. Built on the northeastern shore of the Great Salt Lake near Rozel Point in Utah entirely of mud, salt crystals, and basalt rocks, Spiral Jetty forms a 1,500-foot-long (460 m), 15-foot-wide (4.6 m) counterclockwise coil jutting from the shore of the lake. Smithson documented the construction of the sculpture in a 32-minute color film also titled Spiral Jetty. Spiral Jetty is an earthwork sculpture constructed in April 1970 that is considered to be the most important work of American sculptor Robert Smithson.
