Manifesting in a broad range of media, from massive land and
environmental works and extensive sculpture parks to giant public
murals, 'destination art' demands to be found and met in its own
space and on its own terms. Some works require a committed
pilgrimage to find - in deserts, forests, and quarries, on farmland
and in mountains, in ghost towns and nature reserves. Others might
be hidden gems in urban environments. What unites them in every
instance is an artistic symbiosis between the installation and its
setting. Through the eyes of renowned art historian Amy Dempsey,
the magic of public art comes alive - and while the art is
undoubtedly important, the journey there is often equally so.
Perfect both for armchair adventurers and keen globetrotters,
Destination Art offers a clear way in to a vast subject. From the
vibrant Rainbow Village in Taiwan and the Rock Garden of
Chandigarh, to Antony Gormley's Inside Australia at Lake Ballard,
Dempsey expertly guides readers through the most exciting and
significant destination artworks in the world. Each featured
installation is accompanied by a short essay, stunning photographs
and useful information on key works and where to find them. With
104 illustrations in colour
