Editorial Review:

Product Description:
Using a seemingly endless range of natural materials, Goldsworthy creates sculpture in the open that manifests a sympathetic contact with the natural world. 120 full-color photographs.

Amazon.com Review:
Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy uses a seemingly infinite array of purely natural materials, from snow and ice to leaves, stone, and twigs in the creation of his one-of-a-kind sculptures. Unlike such artists as Christo and Michael Hiezer, whose works leave definite marks on the landscape, Goldsworthy's approach is to interrupt, shape, or in some other way temporarily alter or work with nature to produce his fragile, mutable pieces. To create 'Broken Icicle,' for example, Goldsworthy was only able to work on the sculpture in the early morning, when temperatures were below freezing. As with most of his works, ultimately, the materials used to create this piece returned to their natural state, leaving no trace of the artwork's existence save for the stunning photos in this book.

- Excellent!
Wow, this guy really knows how to do it. This book will stun and amaze you, I highly recommend it.

There is also a DVD that shows Andy going about his business of creating these masterpieces and I highly recommend that too.

I originally saw him on a PBS show a few years ago and that inspired me to buy the book and the DVD.

Its not just about art, its about life, and the earth.

- Beautiful images
If you are not familiar with Andy Goldsworthy's work, this book is a great place to begin. Then follow-up by watching the movie Rivers and Tides. This book gives a great overview of his early work. I also found my niece and nephew very interested in the images, and so suspect that children who are interested in art or show an aptitude will appreciate this book as well. The photos are very high quality as well.

Rating:

- Stunning
A stunning collection of amazing art. As I turned the pages, some of these images literally made me gasp. He gives us a new way to look at nature.

- Stonsational!
Andy never ceases to amaze me with his delicate sensitive sculptures which capture the essence of the place in which they were created! Where does this man get his inspiration from? Truely unique!
