Strand Notes

This profusely illustrated book accompanied the first comprehensive American retrospective of Robert Smithson's (1938-1973) complex and highly influential body of work. Perhaps best known as the creator of "Spiral Jetty," a 1500-foot rock coil dramatically situated in Utah's Great Salt Lake, Smithson also broke new ground with his films, photographs, writings, drawings, sculptures, and collages. His oeuvre defied convention, utilizing nontraditional art materials such as mirrors, maps, concrete, earth and asphalt - in addition to language. Addenda. Color/b&w illus. 280p.
