To the Ends of the Earth ARTSPACE 2021 COLLECTION

Artists continue to turn to the earth for inspiration - from the awe-inspiring beauty of the landscapes captured in the photographic work of Sebastião Salgado and Steve McCurry, to land and installation artists whose physical interventions leave their mark on the natural world such as Andy Goldsworthy and Christo and Jeanne-Claude, and perhaps most importantly to the artists like Gerhard Richter and Olafur Elíasson who use their work as a place to comment on the metamorphosis of the earth and the rapidly increasing effects of climate change.
