| Land artist, born in Passaic, New Jersey, USA. He studied at the Art Students' League (1955–6) and the Brooklyn Museum School. He took up Minimal Art in the 1960s, but from c.1966 began to exhibit his ‘non-sites’ - maps of sites he had visited, together with samples of rocks and soil. He is best known for such earthworks as the ‘Spiral Jetty on the Great Salt Lake, Utah’ (1970). He was killed in a plane crash while taking photographs of one of his earthworks in Texas. |
