Résumé:
Andy Goldsworthy's Passage focuses on the journeys that people, rivers, landscapes, and even stones take through space and time. A cairn made by the renowned sculptor in the Scottish village where he lives reveals the influence that his work close to home has on projects he creates elsewhere. A series involving elm trees, from glowing yellow leaves to dead branches, exemplifies his work's vigorous beauty as well as its association with death and decay. Creations on the beach and in rivers explore the passage of time, while a white chalk path investigates the passing from day into night. Passage also includes the Garden of Stones, a Holocaust memorial at the Museum of Jewish Heritage in New York, where the artist planted 18 oak trees through holes in hollowed-out, earth-filled boulders. Documenting these and other recent works, this beautiful book is an eloquent testament to Goldsworthy's determination to deepen his understanding of the world around him, and his relationship with it, through his art. Andy Goldsworthy's work is regularly exhibited in Britain, France, the United States, Japan, and elsewhere. Although commissions take him all over the world, the landscape around his home in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, remains at the heart of his work.

Résumé:
Goldsworthy's oeuvre is made entirely of natural materials such as leaves, wood, stone or snow, resulting mainly in site-specific installations linked to a certain place. The forms and structures he creates blend in with the landscape, striving to find a balance with their setting and the effects of light and atmosphere. The resulting work interacts with its surroundings, changing and growing as time goes by. This fleeting, variable essence drives him to photograph many of his works in order to record them and their evolution for posterity. The installation Goldsworthy prepared especially for the Crystal Palace is one of the artist's most ambitious wood dome projects so far, enlarging upon the vaulted spaces he used previously in London and Yorkshire. The form of the wooden structures blends in with the architecture of the palace which becomes its glass epidermis.

Résumé:
In September 1976, a curtain of shimmering white was unfurled across the hills of rural northern California, running unbroken for 24.5 miles from Sonoma County to the Pacific Ocean. The artistic vision of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's Running Fence was 18 feet high and traversed the private properties of 59 ranchers. Although it remained in place for just two weeks, the process of planning it consumed nearly four years, and the installation required helicopters, barges, lawyers, and more than 300 Bay Area students and workers. Illustrated throughout with graphic representations and photographs, Christo and Jeanne-Claude recounts how two artists who were complete strangers to the area gradually enlisted the support of entire communities in order to make their vision a reality.

Résumé:
Using minimal tools and a simple technique of bending, interweaving, and fastening together sticks, artist Patrick Dougherty creates works of art inseparable with nature and the landscape. This publication features thirty-eight of his organic, dynamic works that twist the line between architecture, landscape, and art. Constructed on-site using locally sourced materials and local volunteer labor, Dougherty's sculptures are tangles of twigs and branches that have been transformed into something unexpected and wild, elegant and artful, and often humorous.

Résumé:
L’acte de construire le plus simple est sûrement de poser deux pierres l’une sur l’autre, ou, pour l’arpenteur des bords de mer, de faire des châteaux de sable. C’est à un retour vers cette joie pure et ces gestes instinctifs de bâtisseur d’éphémère que Tina Bloch, commissaire d’exposition, a convié 34 architectes ou duo d’architectes européens. Sur les plages de Deauville et de Benerville, d’étonnants monuments se sont élevés entre ciel et mer, des mandalas et des labyrinthes à perte de vue ont connu une existence fugace mais intense. À la fois land art et sand painting, les propositions, mûrement élaborées ou improvisées selon l’inspiration de l’instant, sont d’une étonnante diversité. Creuser, édifier, sculpter, mouler, scarifier, ratisser, dessiner, modeler… le sable se prête à toutes les inventions poétiques.Entre deux marées, le photographe Michel Denancé a capturé leur éphémère beauté, mêlant les perspectives à hauteur d’œil et les vues aériennes pour un résultat d’une grande force esthétique.
