Description
Andy Goldsworthy in Close-up explores the recurring motifs and forms in the art of British sculptor Andy Goldsworthy. With illustrations facing the text on each page, this updated edition delves into the artist's use of natural forms to create poetry-like sculptures.
The book examines how Goldsworthy's work challenges the relationship between the 'real world' and art, inviting viewers to re-examine nature's multitudinous variety of forms. By using real objects, such as snowballs made from actual snow and pebbles used in their natural state, Goldsworthy aims to demolish notions of representation and mediation.
This comprehensive study provides a detailed look at the artist's work, including many pieces created in the USA. With its unique approach to art and nature, Andy Goldsworthy in Close-up offers a fascinating insight into the creative process behind one of Britain's most innovative sculptors.
