Robert Smithson - Art in Continual Movement │By (author) I. commandeur , (Author) T.van Riemsdijk

Robert Smithson. Art in Continual Movement’ is a seminal compilation of material from different archives in the Netherlands and the US: photographs, film recordings, drawings, texts and letters dealing with the famous land art work ‘Broken Circle/Spiral Hill’ in Emmen, Drenthe (Netherlands), which Robert Smithson designed in 1971 for the exhibition ‘Sonsbeek buiten de perken’. This is one of only three preserved land art works of Smithson worldwide. The significance of this particular art work has been relatively neglected in the extensive literature on Smithson’s work, nevertheless, it is one of his key works.
