Description
Robert Smithson Unearthed: Drawings, Collages, Writings, the first full survey of this artist's work, reevaluates its larger resonance and its place in the historical development of recent art. Eugenie Tsai's re-presentation of the work of Smithson expands our understanding of his achievement. Looking beyond the Minimalist structures and the earthworks for which she is best known, she explores his intellectual and aesthetic roots, his early imaginings, and discovers a richer range of personal affect in Smithson's art than we had been led to expect.
