Reviews

Land Arts of the American West is notable for presenting an unusually wide array of artistic exploration and intervention in the Western landscape, and for having a remarkably large frame of historical reference... Given the range of sites presented and the depth of analysis that many of them receive, I can imagine that this book would have broad appeal not only to people interested in art, but also to those intrigued by landscape, land use, and Western history. J o h n B e a r d s l e y, Harvard University Graduate School of Design, author of Earthworks and Beyond: Contemporary Art in the Landscape
