Essential reading for both art enthusiasts and anyone concerned with the environment, the book is the most comprehensive and beautifully illustrated book on the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe traditional landscape genre was radically transformed in the 1960s when many artists stopped merely representing the land and made their mark directly in the environment. Drawn by the vast uncultivated spaces of the desert and mountain as well as post-industrial wastelands, artists such as Michael Heizer, Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson moved the earth to create colossal primal symbols. Others punctuated the horizon with man-made signposts, such as Christo's \u003ci\u003eRunning Fence\u003c\/i\u003e or Walter de Maria's \u003ci\u003eLightning Field\u003c\/i\u003e. Journeys became works of art for Richard Long while Dennis Oppenheim and Ana Mendieta immersed their bodies in the contours of the land. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book traces early developments to the present day, as artists are exploring eco-systems and the interface between industrial, urban and rural cultures. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSurvey \u003c\/b\u003eBrian Wallis discusses the key artists, works and issues that define Land Art historically, as well as its later ramifications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWorks\u003c\/b\u003e This book fully documents the 1960s Land Art movement and surveys examples of Environmental Art to the present day.
