Covertext:
Land Art examines a particular movement in art history, often described as “ground works,” that began in the United States in the late 1960s.

This movement, which revolutionized the way art is made and perceived, includes artists such as Christo, Walter De Maria, Michael Heizer, Nancy Holt, Robert Morris, Robert Smithson and Dennis Oppenheim, among others.

Richly illustrated in color and black and white, the book “Land Art” is a comprehensive presentation of the work of these great artists and an invaluable analysis of this radical art form.

The medium of these artworks is the earth itself, earth that has been worked, plowed, dug, piled, leveled, smoothed and cut.
Yet these projects are also engaged with the land in a broader sense, entering into a relationship of reciprocity with the earth - a process of dialogue with the environment.

The projects are represented through numerous large-format drawings and photographs, including aerial photographs, allowing the works to be viewed from multiple perspectives.

Among the many works discussed in this book are Walter De Maria's Lightening Field, Christo's Running Fence, Michael Heizer's Double Negative, Robert Smithson's The Spiral Jetty and James Turrell's Roden Crater.

In addition to Gilles Tiberghien's insightful text, Land Art includes maps of the projects, the transcript of a discussion between Michael Heizer, Dennis Oppenheim and Robert Smithson and essays by Robert Morris, Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson.
