    The Pioneering Artist Climate-Heroes

    The artist-activists who predicted the climate crisis

    Lydia Figes, 12 November 2019 (Dazed)

    “…[B]efore climate change became a central marketable subject matter for major blockbuster exhibitions, there were artists creating a visual vocabulary for the perilous effects of human action on the environment…Initially stemming from the aesthetic principles of minimalism, environmental art, earthworks, or land art, first emerged as a concept in the 1960s and 1970s, when artists like Walter De Maria, Nancy Holt, and Robert Smithson, among others, approached landscape as a raw, sculptural material…
