 | | LAND ART [land art] or earthworks, art form developed in the late 1960s and early 70s by Robert Smithson, Robert Morris, Michael Heizer, and others, in which the artist employs the elements of nature in situ or rearranges the landscape with earthmoving equipment. |
 | | Another notable artist is Michael Heizer, whose vast City (1971-) in the Nevada desert is probably the largest such project yet attempted. |
 | | Among other artists working in this genre are Dennis Oppenheim, Alice Aycock, Nancy Holt, Richard Long, Walter de Maria, Newton and Helen Harrison, and Andy Goldsworthy. |
