Since the 1979 publication of The Writings of Robert Smithson, Robert Smithson's significance as a spokesman for a generation of artists has been widely acknowledged and the importance of his thinking to contemporary artists and art critics continues to grow. In addition to a new introduction by Jack Flam, The Collected Writings includes previously unpublished essays by Smithson and gathers hard-to-find articles, interviews, and photographs. Together these provide a full picture of his wide-ranging views on art and culture.

All eight episodes from the second series of the art show presented by Toby Amies and Mame McCutchin. The hosts journey across America, making stops to see museums and architecture and to meet with artists. This series features Mount Rushmore and Robert Smithson's earthwork Spiral Jetty in the Great Salt Lake with locations including Key West, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Denver, Napa Valley, Crater Lake National Park, Vancouver and Anchorage.
