Produktbeschreibung
In January 2003 Goldsworthy was invited to create a work of art for the National Gallery of Art, Washington. The project began with a series of ephemeral works on Government Island in Stafford County, Virginia. From this phase a series of photographic suites and a diary remain. The second phase of the project resulted in Roof, a site-specific sculpture comprising nine stacked-slate domes installed by Goldsworthy, his assistant, and a group of British drystone wallers in the winter of 2004/2005. The book traces the development of Goldsworthy’s project at the Gallery from conception to completion and situates the artist’s sculpture and practice within an age-long tradition of structures. The book also features the only fully illustrated catalogue documenting Goldsworthy’s commissioned installations more than 120 works dating from 1984 to 2008 and spanning three continents.
