Reviews

"""If you wish to travel the world but are hindered by budget or time constraints, a relatively inspiring alternative is to explore the pages of Lannoo’s June release, “The Art Travel Book: 40 Iconic Outdoor Artworks.”"" ""The pieces selected — with gorgeous photographs — offer insights into works, as the title states, situated outdoors from mostly notable and noticeable masterpieces that even non-art lovers could appreciate and recognize.""" - The Arab News
"“From the time of the earliest cave paintings to the present day, nature has always been a source of inspiration for artists.” This is the opening line of a new publication dedicated to art in the landscape. The Art Travel Book: 40 Iconic Outdoor Artworks considers how creatives are inspired by, and make use of, the environment to produce unique pieces." - Aesthetica
"In particular, the publication spotlights art made since the 1960s, when there was a distinctive shift towards nature as more than a topic, instead becoming both canvas and material. Figures like Richard Long and Robert Smithson pioneered the Land Art Movement, joined by Nancy Holt, Walter de Maria, Michael Heizer and Dennis Oppenheim, to create installations that were one with the landscape. Today, we’re spotlighting five of our favourite pieces, featured in The Art Travel Book, that demonstrate what art can become when taken outside of the gallery walls." - Aesthetica
