The Ins and Outs of Commissioning a Work of Art
“I’ve always liked the people who want to commission me. When someone buys my work, I’m disposed to like them.”
Andy Goldsworthy
Andy Goldsworthy, born in Cheshire, England in 1956, is a British sculptor and environmentalist known for his site-specific installations involving natural materials. He studied fine art at Bradford College of Art and later at Preston Polytechnic. Goldsworthy's early career was marked by his commitment to creating ephemeral works that interact with the natural landscape. His creations often involve leaves, stones, ice, and wood, arranged into intricate patterns and structures. Notable works include "Rain Shadows" and "Ice Spiral: Tree Soul." Goldsworthy's art, documented through photography, emphasizes the beauty and temporality of nature. His work is featured in institutions like the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., and the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. Read more about Arts.
