In the course of a career thinking and writing about art, critic Martin Gayford has traveled all over the world both to see works of art and to meet artists. Gayford's journeys, often to fairly inaccessible places, involve frustrations and complications, but also serendipitous encounters and outcomes, which he makes as much a part of the story as the final destination. In chapters that are by turns humorous, intriguing, and stimulating, Gayford takes us to places as varied as Brancusi's Endless Column in Romania; prehistoric caves in France; the museum island of Naoshima in Japan; the Judd Foundation in Marfa, Texas; and an exhibition of Roni Horn's work in Iceland. Interwoven with these tales are journeys to meet artists--Henri Cartier-Bresson in Paris, Marina Abramovic in Venice, Robert Rauschenberg in New York--and travels with artists, such as a trip to Beijing with Gilbert & George. These encounters not only provide fascinating insights into the way artists approach and think about their art, but reveal the importance of their personal environments. A perceptive, amusing, and knowledgeable companion, [here] Gayford takes readers on a tour of art that is immensely entertaining, informative, and eminently readable."--Provided by publisher. 505 0 $a Being there -- Predecessors, rivals, successors -- Art and landscapes -- Way out East -- Slow and fast looking -- Chance and necessity. 600 10 $a Gayford, Martin, $d 1952- $x Travel. 650 0 $a Art appreciation. 650 0 $a Historic sites. 650 0 $a Artists $x Attitudes. 650 0 $a Art $x History. 650 7 $a TRAVEL $x Museums, Tours, Points of Interest. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Gayford, Martin, $d 1952- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01947481 650 7 $a Art. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815177 650 7 $a Art appreciation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815447 650 7 $a Artists $x Attitudes. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00817563 650 7 $a Historic sites. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00957846 650 7 $a Travel. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01155558 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Travel writing. $2 lcgft 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317023232.0 952 $l GAAX314 $d 20200829010413.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E5C55B482DF611EAB868BF0597128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
