Disappointingly I didn't find this book very inspiring, although it is so much in my field of interest.
I skipped the gaps and statistic inserts which weren't directly referred to in the text. I found the interviews and articles quite opaque; although they involved interesting people and projects, the approach was unnecessarily edited/curated. I would have preferred it to be simpler and clearer. I didn't find the production of the book attractive, or adding to the meaning. I had to force myself to read it, rather than being gripped.

A good introduction to the art and artists of the land art movement. Once again, an art book that "opens the door" to deeper exploration. After reading, I spent at least as much time surfing for more information on several of the artists.

I was looking for a book about land art and i m happy i found this one. It has all the major works of many prominent contemporary artists. There are texts on first 43 pages about the art movement. After that, there is a good presentation with big pictures of very important artwork.

Like all this series, a useful encapsulation of the current state of play, both projects and (changing) philosophies.
