Poster, Movie Treatment for Spiral Jetty, Great Salt Lake, Utah, 1970
Designed by Robert Smithson
Robert Smithson, with Walter de Maria and Michael Heizer, pioneered Earthworks, an art movement utilizing earth as sculptural material to re-shape terrain in response to a specific site, knowing that the work would be subjected to nature's processes and cycles. Spiral Jetty (1970) was a spiral ridge protrusion of earth and rocks collected from the site and sculpted in the Great Salt Lake, Utah, USA. Partly submerged, it was Smithson's most celebrated work, and its changing state has been documented through film, photographs, his drawings, as well as this poster. |
