Midsummer Snowballs

Summary: A bizzarre and wonderful concept...
Review: Midsummer Snowballs. The very idea puts a smile on your face. If that doesn't, then a few photographs of this Summer 2000 exhibition by Andy Goldsworthy will.

This book is a photo essay and journal entries on the creation of this facinating exhibition. I was enticed by the photos, and then had to go back and read the journal to learn more about the creation of this display. A highly enjoyable, but light read by the artist. A great book to give to other people, since it's very unlikely they'd ever buy it for themselves.

Summary: more great goldsworthy
Review: What I love about this book is that Goldsworthy moved his art to the city streets, which gives it a totally different context and impact, but equally as imaginative and startling as his earlier work. The public's reaction, as documented in the many excellent photos, ranged from wonder to hilarity to indifference, and even one very satisfied dog. The final snowball was the best -- eerie and uncomfortable, yet beautiful, and was really what convinced me to buy the book. Take a look!
