Rock on Top of Another Rock is a sculpture by the artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss which was exhibited outside the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington Gardens in 2013. It consists of one large rock balanced on top of another large rock. An earlier incarnation of the work was a similar sculpture on the plateau of Valdresflya which was one of the artworks installed on each of Norway's eighteen scenic highways.
@ Fred: I imagine that they're natural rocks but they could be from anywhere - or from hundreds of miles away like Stonehenge. Personally I'd pick something local if not exactly immediate.
@ Mudpuddle: That was my thought too. BIG cranes involved.... 'Right a bit... left a bit.... OK..... START again.... [walks away mumbling]

Are they manufactured rocks or just rocks that happened to be in the vicinity?
i'm trying to imagine the cranes, backhoes, etc. that were required to erect it... and what they did when it wasn't quite right...
