WALTER DE MARIA (1935-2013) is considered one of the founders of three of the most important art movements of the twentieth century: Minimal Art, Concept Art and Land Art. His legacy is unparalleled in its extreme concentration and restraint. His works radically defy representation
while revealing themselves, in their very unconcealment, as comprehensive enigmas. Beginning with the artist’s final work, the installation Apollo’s Ecstasy from the 2013 Venice Biennale, this book ventures an approach to De Maria’s oeuvre from a single aspect, its particular embrace of perspective.
