"In the 1960s and 1970s many artists set out to democratize art by liberating their work from the confines of museums, galleries, and the marketplace, and situating it in public spaces. Since that time, site-specific art has evolved into an international phenomenon, and Dorothy Cross has emerged as one of the most compelling practitioners of this genre. The many color photographs reproduced in this volume, the artist's account of the construction process of two of the projects, and the author's detailed analysis convey the beauty and mystery of that which is GONE."--BOOK JACKET.
