Wednesday Writings: Chapter Three
In July we shared Chapter Three of Wednesday Writings, one of Holt/Smithson Foundation's digital programs. This chapter’s focus is on writings by Robert Smithson, which provide an unparalleled vantage into the concepts, influences, and ways of thinking that guided his work. Smithson wrote extensively and published his writings in exhibition catalogs and publications such as Artforum, Harper's Bazaar, Studio International, Arts Magazine, and Avalanche.
