Destination Art provides a highly accessible chronological survey of the world’s most important large-scale and public works of twentieth- and twenty-first-century art. Encompassing massive land and environmental works, extensive sculpture parks, magnificent architectural follies, site-specific installations, even whole towns turned over to the display of art, this book chronicles works that have achieved near-mythical status since they were created. Including Little Sparta by Ian Hamilton Finlay and Stroom projects: Park in het Water by Vito Acconci Studio, Hemels Gewelf / Celestial Vault, in Kijkduin by James Turrell.
