LAND ART & STYLE : Robert Smithson

Robert Smithson & Givenchy Fall 2014; CLICK ON THE GOLD ARROW BELOW FOR THE NEXT SLIDE

Robert Smithson’s Spiral Getty (1970)—the massive, rock, algae and earth-shaped spiral shaped jetty in the Great Salt Lake in Utah—is probably the most famous Land Art work. Half the piece sweeps into the water, and there are points where the entire work is covered, depending on the water levels of the lake. It’s a beautiful piece, sometimes hidden, sometimes fully visible.
