Walter de Maria
Walter De Maria, born in Albany, California in 1935, was a pioneering American artist known for his contributions to minimalism and land art. He studied at the University of California, Berkeley and moved to New York in the 1960s. De Maria's early career included collaborations with avant-garde musicians and participation in the minimalist movement. He is best known for large-scale installations such as "The Lightning Field" and "The New York Earth Room," which challenge perceptions of space and scale. His work often involved precise geometric forms and natural elements, emphasizing the relationship between the viewer and the environment. De Maria's art is part of major collections like the Dia Art Foundation and the Museum of Modern Art. He passed away in 2013, leaving a lasting legacy in contemporary art. Read more about Arts.
