Haines Gallery, Exhibits Andy Goldsworthly, "THe Landscape Artists"

In a new profile in The New Yorker, Andy Goldsworthy speaks to Rebecca Mead about the development of his work and his legacy as an artist, from his earliest installations to Gravestones, a poignant new project that will be the artist's "most substantial work on his home terrain." The sheer beauty of some of Goldsworthy’s work—sliced fronds of heron feathers arranged in stark geometries, or a boulder coated in blood-red poppy petals—has sometimes led him to be characterized as a visual version of an exultant nature poet. But Goldsworthy deplores the city dweller’s notion of the countryside as a picturesque escape. “For me, the landscape is not a place you go to for therapy and relaxation—it is to get challenged and have ideas, and to generate thoughts and feelings and emotions,” he told me. “It’s a very powerful thing to deal with.”   Read on newyorker.com Goldsworthy in San Francisco Drawn Stone (2005) at the de Young Museum Spire (2008) in the Presidio Wood Line (2011) in the Presidio Andy Goldsworthy's work has been the subject of Fifty Years, a critically acclaimed retrospective at the National Galleries of Scotland, as well as exhibitions at major museums including the Aspen Institute, CO; deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, MA; Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park, Grand Rapids, MI; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Museo Nacional Reina Sofia, Madrid, Spain; and Yorkshire Sculpture Park, UK.
