Strand Notes

This fully illustrated book accompanies the first comprehensive retrospective of Robert Smithson's (1938-1971) complex and highly influential body of work. Perhaps best known as the creator of "Spiral Jetty," a fifteen-hundred 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. @Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, 6.23-10.16.2005. Includes an interview with the author. Extensive addenda. Illus., color/b&w. 280p.
