ROBERT SMITHSON SPIRAL JETTY: True Fictions, False Realities
Edited by Lynne Cooke , Karen Kelly et al.
Earth-sculptor Smithson's most famous and enigmatic work is explored and explained in this intriguing tome. A 1,500 foot long coil of stone and basalt extends from the northern shore of Utah's Great Salt Lake, seasonally disappearing beneath the tides while accumulating strange and beautiful mineral deposits. Smithson's inspiration is laid bare through critical essays, journal writings, sketches, film stills and photos galore. The graceful, minimalist sculpture takes center stage here, mutating and shifting within it's ever-changing environment. An enchanting book for art lovers and sculpture fans!
