Reviews

'... a meaningful contribution to the artist's oeuvre that provides insight into her creative impact on public environmental art. This work would make a great addition to academic libraries that collect materials related to garden history, earthworks, or Johanson's work as an artist.' ARLIS/NA Reviews '... a welcome and timely addition to the literature of landscape design.' Studio International 'Xin Wu's recent study of Johanson explores the artist's work as negotiating between these multiple fields as well as meriting consideration within art historical chronologies. For Wu, Johanson's art constitutes a new-and relevant-form of contemporary public art practice.' Journal of American Culture
