Product Description:

Amazon.com Review:
Scottish artist Andy Goldsworthy uses a seemingly infinite array of purely natural materials, from snow and ice to leaves, stone, and twigs in the creation of his one-of-a-kind sculptures. Unlike such artists as Christo and Michael Hiezer, whose works leave definite marks on the landscape, Goldsworthy's approach is to interrupt, shape, or in some other way temporarily alter or work with nature to produce his fragile, mutable pieces. To create 'Broken Icicle,' for example, Goldsworthy was only able to work on the sculpture in the early morning, when temperatures were below freezing. As with most of his works, ultimately, the materials used to create this piece returned to their natural state, leaving no trace of the artwork's existence save for the stunning photos in this book.

Rating: - Beautiful images
If you are not familiar with Andy Goldsworthy's work, this book is a great place to begin. Then follow-up by watching the movie Rivers and Tides. This book gives a great overview of his early work. I also found my niece and nephew very interested in the images, and so suspect that children who are interested in art or show an aptitude will appreciate this book as well. The photos are very high quality as well.
Rating: - Stunning
A stunning collection of amazing art. As I turned the pages, some of these images literally made me gasp. He gives us a new way to look at nature.
Rating: - Stonsational!
Andy never ceases to amaze me with his delicate sensitive sculptures which capture the essence of the place in which they were created! Where does this man get his inspiration from? Truely unique!
Rating: - Couldn't ask for more!
This lovely, large book was all I had hoped for--and MORE. Great value for the price. I am thrilled to have photos of Andy Goldsworthy's works to look at any time. I had researched buying a print to frame and found few available. The photos in this book could actually be put in frames! The color and detail is beautiful. Friends, adult children, and grandchildren gravitate to this book with each visit. My granddaughter even recognized a coincidental similarity between Andy's "OVERLEAF" and the stacks of "discontinued" grapevines in my back yard. Andy's work is helping us all tune in more deeply to the wonders around us.
Rating:  - not too shabby.
while i bought this book for another, i find it to be pretty good. some pictures aren't up to todays digital quality, but its still great to look at. you won't be disappointed.
