Everything about Double Negative Artwork totally explained

Double Negative is a piece of earth art located on the Mormon Mesa (or Virgin River Mesa) near Overton, Nevada (also known as Moapa Valley), completed in 1969 by the artist Michael Heizer.
   The work consists of a long trench in the earth, wide, deep, and long, created by the displacement of 240,000 tons of earth. Two trenches straddle either side of a natural canyon (into which the excavated material was dumped). The "negative" in the title thus refers in part to both the natural and man-made negative space that constitutes the work. The work essentially consists of what isn't there—what has been displaced—and thus encourages inquiry into how creating empty space can constitute art.
   The work is currently owned by The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) and is accessible by four-wheel drive vehicle.
