the two hundred most important modern and contemporary art sites
around the world. Designed for the international art tourist as a
key critical reference in an era where more and more art is found
outside galleries or museums,Destination Artnot only is
packed with practical information for the traveler but also
provides a highly accessible chronological survey of the world's
most important large-scale and public works of twentieth- and
twenty-first-century art. Encompassing massive land and
environmental works, extensive sculpture parks, magnificent
architectural follies, site-specific installations, even whole
towns turned over to the display of art, this book chronicles a
wealth of works that have achieved near-mythical status since they
were created. Among the many influential and popular artists
included are Henri Matisse, Antoni Gaud R, Jean Tinguely,
Constantin Brancusi, James Turrell, Richard Serra, Robert Smithson,
and Antony Gormley. The book includes full visitor information,
with hours and admissions fees, directions, contact details and
websites, and further reading. Fifty key art destinations are
featured in substantial essays, with accounts of their histories,
descriptions of their sites, and spectacular photography. With
destinations from around the world and special emphasis on Europe
and the United States, this volume signals the coming of age of
site-specific art and will inspire visitors from around the globe
and armchair enthusiasts alike.
