"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' backyard." Author 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 of the genre, and a map of key works around the world." -- From publisher's description. |
