Summary
"There have been other exhibitions of his works, but Robert Smithson: Photo Works is the first to examine his use of the camera and to present the way he saw the unique landscapes in which he traveled and located his art. As demonstrated by curator of photography Robert A. Sobieszek, the photographic image was central to Smithson's art, whether in collages, montages, sequences, films, or alone. Smithson's final projects attempted a collaboration art and industry. He believed artists could assist in reclaiming such devastated areas as open-face strip mines. Our expanding presence in and impact upon the land may have become so pervasive that the boundaries between nature and culture have been all but obliterated. Now two decades after his death, Robert Smithson's lessons are all the more vital and significant."-from preface.
