brief_description
In January 2003 British sculptor Andy Goldsworthy was invited to create a work of art for the National Gallery of Art, Washington. The project began with a series of ephemeral works on Government Island in Stafford County, Virginia. From this phase a series of photographic suites and a diary remain. The second phase of the project resulted in Roof, a permanent, site-specific sculpture at the National Gallery comprising nine stacked-slate domes installed over the course of nine weeks by Goldsworthy,his assistant, and a group of British drystone wallers in the winter of 2004-2005. This volume traces the development of Goldsworthy's project atthe National Gallery from conception to completion and situates the artist's sculpture and practice within an age-long tradition of structures.It documents Goldsworthy's permanent installations - more than 120 works dating from 1984 to 2008 and spanning three continents.
