Monograph on Michael Heizer's monumental land art project "Double Negative." Foreword by Richard Koshalek and Kerry Brougher. Essay by Mark C. Taylor. Includes selected bibliography. "Created with bulldozer and dynamite in 1969 in the vast expanse of the Nevada desert, Michael Heizer's Double Negative was one of the first and remains among the most influential of the monumental 'earthworks' sculptures in and of the land. Double Negative, a 1,500-foot incision on the edge of a mesa 80 miles from Las Vegas still exists: its site is now officially part of the collection of The Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. The experience of the magnificent, expansive gesture is captured in this book with 25 oversized plates that document the sculpture's creation and impart a sense of its scale." -- from book's end flap text.
