brief_description
"A lapsed art historian and devoted urbanite, Hogan initially sought firsthand experience of the monumental earthworks of the 1970s and 1980s - Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty, Nancy Holt's Sun Tunnels, Walter De Maria's Lightning Field, James Turrell's Roden Crater, Michael Heizer's Double Negative - and the contemporary art mecca of Marfa, Texas. Armed with spotty directions, no compass, and less than desert-appropriate clothing, she found most of what she was looking for and then some." -- cover
