Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Manifesting in a broad range of media, from massive land and environmental works and extensive sculpture parks to giant public murals, 'destination art' demands to be found and met in its own space and on its own terms. Some works require a committed pilgrimage to find - in deserts, forests, and quarries, on farmland and in mountains, in ghost towns and nature reserves. Others might be hidden gems in urban environments. What unites them in every instance is an artistic symbiosis between the installation and its setting.
Through the eyes of renowned art historian Amy Dempsey, the magic of public art comes alive - and while the art is undoubtedly important, the journey there is often equally so. Perfect both for armchair adventurers and keen globetrotters, Destination Art offers a clear way in to a vast subject. From the vibrant Rainbow Village in Taiwan and the Rock Garden of Chandigarh, to Antony Gormley's Inside Australia at Lake Ballard, Dempsey expertly guides readers through the most exciting and significant destination artworks in the world. Each featured installation is accompanied by a short essay, stunning photographs and useful information on key works and where to find them.

"Discover some of the world’s most inspiring artworks – each unique to its place and setting, and creating a destination in its own right. The journey to the sites is often part of the thrill, with many artworks to be found in deserts, forests, rivers and seas, on farmland and mountains, and in ghost towns, nature reserves, former industrial sites, quarries and monasteries. Others may be hidden gems in cities or artists’ backyards. From Robert Smithson’s Spiral Jetty in Utah’s Great Salt Lake to Nek Chand’s Rock Garden in Chandigarh, India, and Antony Gormley’s Inside Australia at Lake Ballard, Amy Dempsey expertly guides readers through the most exciting Destination artworks in the world. This book includes stunning photographs accompanied by lively text, a chronology, a map and information on key works and where to find them" - publisher's website.
