Robert Smithson and the American Landscape is a social history of
the artist's earthworks and their critical reception. Providing a
close analysis of Smithson's own writings and art works, Ron
Graziani demonstrates how his earthworks were part of an aesthetic
and civic fault line that ruptured in the 1960s. Smithson's
humanized environments were a powerful indictment of modernist
sense of art and nature. Moreover, Graziani shows how Smithson's
earthworks formed part of what was called the 'new conservationism'
in the late 1960s and how they gave material form to the
contradictions of a sociological issue that was inseparable from
its economic legacy.
