Mary Miss

About this book

"As sculptor, draughtsman, photographer and environmental artist, Mary Miss straddles the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, and installation art. Her work moves from the urban bustle of New York, to the vast plains of the American Midwest, to the remote forests of Finland. Designed in association with the artist, this monograph, a comprehensive overview of Miss's work, features colour photographs and images of her projects, accompanied by copious drawings by the artist. Architectural historian Daniel Abramson addresses each of her projects in detail. An introduction by art critic Eleanor Heartney situates Miss in the context of contemporary movements in art, and architecture critic Joseph Giovannini places her work within contemporary design practice." -- Provided by publisher.
