Book Description
This book traces the creation, from concept through installation, of a major new sculpture, Body Politic, by artist David Stromeyer. Stromeyer has made art on his land in northern Vermont for fifty years. His work is found in private, municipal, and museum collections in the U.S. and internationally. In 2014, David and his wife Sarah created Cold Hollow Sculpture Park, opening their property with seventy of his large, outdoor sculptures, to the public. Since then, the Park has become a nonprofit hosting thousands of visitors and a seasonal series of multidiscipline programs as well an annual Artist-in-Residence.This is also the story of Stromeyer as a young artist, coming to Vermont to realize his vision - the marriage of art and landscape - by establishing a life and a studio to ultimately fulfill his dream. He speaks of what urges him to be a maker. He describes and discusses his influences, processes, choice of materials, use of narrative, how he uses color, the interplay between art and science, and, finally, the importance of play in his art. Stromeyer says: "For forty-five years I thought of my sculptures as individual expressions. With the formation of Cold Hollow Sculpture Park, I realize that I have always been working on one big artwork, which is the Park." His words come alive in this full color, richly illustrated volume with over three hundred images of his art and art making on the land.The anticipated audience includes: art professionals, landscape architects and engineers, practicing artists, art professors and student, as well as the general public.

Book Description
"This book presents an introduction to master screenprinter Lou Stovall by his son--part memoir, part history--that shows Lou Stovall's path as an artist while illuminating the golden age of art in DC in the 1960s and 1970s. It then presents a stunning series of prints and poems from his Of the Land series that showcase innovative screenprinting techniques. It finishes with an excerpt from Lou's autobiography, which gives readers a sense of his approach to art and life, which are intertwined. Stovall created The Workshop in 1968 as a small, active silkscreen workshop focused primarily on printing community posters. Under Stovall's leadership, Workshop, Inc. evolved into an internationally-respected printmaking facility and Stovall collaborated with Jacob Lawrence and Sam Gilliam, among others. His works are part of numerous collections, including the National Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Ameican Art Museum, and The Phillips Collection. Publication coincides with a Kreeger Museum exhibit and precedes a forthcoming exhibit at the University of Georgia (TBD)"--

Book Description
The creativity of Burning Man and the design innovation of the Land Art Generator respond to the climate crisis with a catalog of radical experiments in post-carbon living. Set in the remote corner of Northern Nevada lies a magical stretch of land called Fly Ranch. With no access to the electrical grid or other public utilities, the site provides an opportunity to reinvent what human settlement can aspire to be in a world that has awakened to the impacts of anthropogenic climate change and the overconsumption of natural resources. Land Art of the 21st Century catalogs the responses to an invitation from the Land Art Generator and Burning Man Project to creatively design systems for energy, water, agriculture, shelter, and regeneration--a proof of concept for how to live in beauty and harmony with the earth. The results are a glimpse into the near future of our sustainable landscapes.

Book Description
The first career-spanning catalog of the work of Gianfranco Gorgoni, whose iconic photographs established Land Art as one of the major art movements of the twentieth century. For five decades, photographer Gianfranco Gorgoni (1941-2019) built his reputation as the premier documentarian of Land Art in the US and beyond. After leaving Italy, Gorgoni started making portraits of the major artists of the New York scene, including Michael Heizer, Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt, Walter De Maria, Carl Andre, and Richard Serra. It was not long before he was traveling with Heizer, Smithson, and De Maria to the American West in the late 1960s to plot the works that would famously break art practice out of the confines of the gallery world. In Nevada, New Mexico, and Utah, these artists embarked on major Land Art installations that would redefine contemporary art practice of the era. In many cases, Gorgoni was the only photographer on the ground to document their projects, and his images often serve as the definitive photographic record of the planning and creation of these groundbreaking works. Published to coincide with the first major exhibition of Gorgoni's photographic Land Art images at the Nevada Museum of Art, featuring over fifty of his large-scale photographs, Gianfranco Gorgoni: Land Art Photographs includes an introduction by Ann M. Wolfe, Andrea and John C. Deane Family senior curator and deputy director at the Nevada Museum of Art, an essay by the late art historian and critic Germano Celant, whose contribution here is among the last he wrote before his death in 2020, and William L. Fox, the Peter E. Pool Director of the Center for Art + Environment. A landmark collection of photographs of legendary and lesser-known works by Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria, Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson, Ugo Rondinone, and Charles Ross, Gianfranco Gorgoni: Land Art Photographs is a major new assessment of one of the world's great art movements.

Book Description
"What will we leave for future generations? What is it about a community that might inspire a work of art? Can that art give meaning to our public spaces?" "The artists and communities participating in the program New Land Marks: Public Art, Community, and Meaning of Place have been grappling with these challenging questions. The resulting book documents how a long-standing Philadelphia cultural organization - the Fairmount Park Art Association - initiated this program in order to plan and create unique public art projects with communities that volunteered to participate. Artists have been working with these communities to incorporate public art into ongoing community development, urban greening, civic history, streetscape enhancement, and other revitalization initiatives. The resulting proposals - which represent "works in process" - celebrate community identity, commemorate "untold" histories, inspire civic pride, respond to the local environment, and invigorate public spaces. This book is a guide for those interested in how communities and artists can examine the appearance and meaning of public spaces." "In addition to illustrating the work of the twenty-one artists participating in this innovative public art project, the book includes essays by noted authors Ellen Dissanayake, Thomas Hine, Lucy Lippard, and Penny Balkin Bach, Executive Director of the Fairmount Park Art Association, who also served as general editor."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
