Robert Smithson

Robert Smithonian Robert Smith is best known for being a pioneer of the debris flow movement. However, his participation in the development of the soil construction is only one of the contributions to American art after the war. The most popular concept of his innovation is the "website", a place where the art of the world can not be separated from its background. In addition to large-scale land intervention, Smithon's artistic practice includes photos, paintings, movies and languages. Robert Smithson was born in Pasay, New Jersey in 1938.

This is the official website of an internationally renowned American artist Robert Smithson. As part of the Holt - Smithson Foundation (www.holtsmithsonfoundation.org), the legacy of Robert Smithson is represented only by the James Cohan Gallery in New York (www.jamescohan.com). This site was created and edited by Elyse Goldberg (smithsonestate@jamescohan.com), a contact point for Robert Smithson Manor. Smithson is a foresighting artist, the forerunner of land art and is best known for his provocative earthwork construction, which is a helicopter in Great Salt Lake, Utah in 1970. Smithsonian is known for his art and criticism, and these paintings challenged the traditional concept of contemporary art between 1964 and 1973. His work and writing continues to inspire his deaths for decades in 1973.

In the summer of 1919, Robert Smithson and Nancy Holt went to the hazel in the west, and he was still working for Nevada. At that time, Smithon was a prolific writer and an excellent spokesperson in New York's art scene. In article 01967 of Artforum magazine he made the term "earthwork" and discussed the aesthetic possibilities of "sidewalks, caves, ditches, mounds, roads, ditches, roads, terraces, etc." Heizer repeatedly insisted that his work is irrelevant to the creation of other artists, and he is familiar with Smithson's work, but these works are based on Heze's "negative" sculpture concept It corresponds to. (The 9 Nevada depressions are unearthed, like the subsequent double negatives - like Smithson 's articles holes and trenches).

During his visit to Hezer and Holt in 1968, Robert Smithson gathered rocks around Mono Lake, California. He sent them to a studio in New York and made what he called "unreal". These non centers are part of Smithson 's answer to the problem of sharing distant, memorable and empirical art. Smithsonian scholar Ann Reynolds explains this concept as follows. His works all conform to this dialectic. New Jersey, Great Salt Lake, Yucatan etc, the place of choice, where he went, what he did, what he did and what he got from these sites - pictures, paintings and film shots, sand and rocks and others His activities of indigenous materials and maps - non white people. Two sites and non-sites - not equal but compatible. - Anne Reynolds, land art in the western United States (Gilbert & Taylor, 02003)
