About The Artwork
Looking at this spooky, life size ghostly sculpture, I wonder what story the sculptor was trying to tell... Why is the ghost posed with a bicycle? Was the rider lost in the desert? This fascinating sculpture was found in the ghost town of Rhyolite. ... Rhyolite is located in Nye County, in the U.S. state of Nevada. It is just outside of Beatty, Nevada. The town was founded in 1904, during the gold rush. Today the town of Rhyolite still features many standing buildings;there is one building still standing today that was made from 10,000 beer bottles! ... Albert Szukalski was a Belgian Artist who was pretty famous in Europe and visited the United States often. He was fascinated with Rhyolite and it's wonderful ruins. Using live models from the town of Beatty, he made life size shrouds as he told a story. The one in this photo is posed with a bicycle. He said that the idea had been in the making for a couple of years, and it took him several months to complete this project. He lived in the Ghost Town as he created his shrouds. After Albert created the ghosts by the Railroad Depot, he moved them to the property where they sit today. Six other pieces have been added since that time by other Belgian artists who were very well known in Europe. This "Ghost Rider" is one of his pieces. ... Rhyolite is 35 miles from the Furnace Creek Visitor Center in Death valley National Park, on the way to Beatty, Nevada. A paved road heading north (left) from Hwy. 374 will take you to the heart of the the town. ... This image is square, for a contemporary look. FEATURED PHOTO, USA Artists News, December 3, 2012

Alan and Marcia, Nevada residents, are avid photographers. Alan takes many photos while hiking around the area - you will see some of his dramatic landscape photos in our portfolio. Marcia looks at things from a different perspective - her photos are usually still life or photos of objects that she finds interesting or unique. Together, they present the eclectic display of photos which you see here. As you can see, Marcia is camera-shy - she would rather be behind the lens than in front of it.
