Description
Michael Heizer: The Once and Future Monuments by William L. Fox is the most comprehensive account available of this influential American artist's work. Spanning his career, this book combines fieldwork, personal narrative, and biographical research to provide a major assessment of Heizer's art. Heizer's legacy as a pioneer of Land Art has had a profound influence on sculpture and environmental art, yet gaps in our understanding have been exacerbated by his seclusion and notorious obduracy. This book addresses these gaps, drawing on the author's extensive experience with the artist and his work, including numerous site visits to Heizer's pieces. Through Fox's unique perspective, which combines critical evaluation with personal narrative and biographical research, this book offers a fresh understanding of Heizer's art and its connection to landscape.
