About this book
"Walter De Maria's Lightning Field (1977), one of the twentieth century's most significant works of art, is situated in a remote area in southwestern New Mexico. It comprises four hundred polished stainless-steel poles (spaced 220 feet apart) installed in a grid measuring one mile by one kilometer. Critic Kenneth Baker visited The Lightning Field numerous times over the course of the past thirty years. Inspired and challenged by this artwork, Baker speculates in this book on the course of our contemporary human condition. He weaves citations and elegantly crafted prose to create a compelling and moving text."--Jacket.
