Grand Canyon 3D Art

This June 15, 2012 photo released by the National Geographic Visitor Center at Grand Canyon shows an unidentified visitor examining the sidewalk artwork "Grand Canyon Illusion" by artist Kurt Wenner outside the National Geographic Visitor Center at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon near Tusayan, Ariz., in this handout photo made on June 15, 2012. The 3-D piece gives the illusion of being perched atop spires and starting down a winding trail that seemingly plunges into the depths of the massive gorge.

Kurt Wenner

This June 15, 2012 photo released by the National Geographic Visitor Center at Grand Canyon shows artist Kurt Wenner as he talks about his sidewalk artwork "Grand Canyon Illusion" outside the National Geographic Visitor Center at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon near Tusayan, Ariz. Reaching back to the European masters for inspiration, Wenner has developed an art form all his own - one that makes objects appear to rise from or fall into the ground in three-dimensional pieces.
