Earthworks and Beyond is a perceptive and accessible survey of an influential art movement that developed during the 1960s and is still reshaping both remote and urban landscapes.
This invaluable volume now includes the most recent efforts by artists‚ often in collaboration with architects and city planners‚ to transform ravaged landscapes and desolate cityscapes into pleasure-giving parks and artworks. The book begins with an enlightening introduction tracing the historical roots of art in the landscape: Stonehenge, Indian mounds, cliff dwellings, park design from 18th-century England to modern-day golf courses. Artists referenced include: Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt, Walter De Maria, and Christo, Constantin Brancusi, Herbert Bayer, Richard Long, James Turrell, and many others.
