Description: Potomac, Maryland, Glenstone Museum, 2018. Hardcover. Square Quarto. Hardcover. Strip style jacket. Board are bound in grey cloth with a strip styke jacket. 47 pages : illustrations (some color), plans ; 33 c. American sculptor Michael Heizer (born 1944) was among the first artists to reject the white cube gallery space in favor of the open land and majestic vistas of the western United States. Michael Heizer marks the unveiling of 'Collapse' (1967/2016) and 'Compression Line' (1968/2016) at Glenstone Museum. Monumental in scale but composed with rhythm and elegance, the two sculptures individually embody opposing aspects of Heizer's sculptural practice: beams exploding from an unseen depth and a sliver of space compressed so precisely that the viewer is unaware of the vast negative area hidden beneath it. This book includes an interview with the artist, previously unpublished archival images and extensive process and installation photography. Exhibition: Glenstone Museum, Potomac, USA (on permanent display from 18/10/2018). As new .
