Art Book Groundswell Women of Land Art

The 1960s saw a seismic shift in the art world as American artists moved beyond traditional gallery spaces to work directly with the earth and its elements—earth, wind, water, fire, wood, and more. With ties to Minimal and Conceptual art, these creators focused on the experience of the artwork rather than the object itself, embracing natural materials and large-scale outdoor sites. Yet, histories of this Land art movement have largely centered on male artists, leaving the contributions of women overshadowed—until now.

Groundswell: Women of Land Art reclaims the narrative, spotlighting the groundbreaking works of women Land artists who reshaped the movement with their innovative earthworks. From Lita Albuquerque to Ana Mendieta, these artists engaged with the land in profound and diverse ways, challenging traditional art norms and redefining the relationship between art and nature.

This richly illustrated volume includes five scholarly essays, an in-depth chronology, an exhibition checklist, and detailed biographies of the featured artists. It not only serves as a vital resource for understanding the historical Land art movement but also emphasizes the enduring importance of women’s contributions to the field.

Artists featured include: Lita Albuquerque, Alice Aycock, Beverly Buchanan, Agnes Denes, Maren Hassinger, Nancy Holt, Patricia Johanson, Ana Mendieta, Mary Miss, Jody Pinto, Michelle Stuart, and Meg Webster. Through their works, Groundswell illuminates a deeper connection between art and the earth, encouraging reflection on our own relationship to the natural world.
