British artist Andy Goldsworthy, known for creating art outdoors and from natural materials, has now built a 2,278-foot stone wall at Storm King Art Center, a sculpture park on the Hudson River in Mountainville, New York. This sensitive and detailed response to the land--former farmland in an area once rich in stone walls--is one of his most impressive and important permanent artworks. The book's stunning color photographs show the wall from every vantage point and in all four seasons, and document ephemeral work made around it. Kenneth Baker's essay considers the Storm King wall in the context of Goldsworthy's other work. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

It is an area that has used dry stone walls for many years, and the feature is built upon the remnants of an earlier wall before it reaches a wood. As it starts to pass through the trees it sweeps in a series of organic curves around the trunks until it reaches the lake, where is sinks beneath the water. On the other side it rises out of the water before heading straight up the hill.
For something so simple and permanent, a wall, Goldsworthy has created a piece that has drama when it disappears into the lake. It also has a certain tension as the trees are young and the wall will be changed as they grow.
Full of colour photos of the construction of the work, it has also got a lot more of the wall through the seasons, with photos of the rich colours in autumn, and the monotone effects that you get from snowfall. Really great book by him. (
