Googling for Goldsworthy

A search for recent news about the artist led to artnet.com, where you can browse Goldsworthy photos, and, if you subscribe, supposedly get information about what his photos sell for. One photo of a project dated January 2006 is pretty cool--it's titled "Elm branches and mud, raining, Townhead Burn, Dumfriesshire." I guess it's good that Goldsworthy doesn't try to come up with more abstract titles for his work, which could risk sounding too precious and cute--sort of like, uh, coming up with post titles like "Googling for Goldsworthy."

Another artist an acquaintance mentioned when I brought up Goldsworthy was Mark Dion. I checked him out on artnet.com and was disappointed. He does these assemblages of household objects that in no way have the resonance and elegance of Goldsworthy's stuff. Creative, yes, but not on the same order, in my opinion. Someone also mentioned Lizzie Farley of Scotland--??

Question of the day: What other artists' work reminds you of what Goldsworthy does? And if you could create a Goldsworthy-type work in an urban setting, what would it be and what would it be made of? I'll share an idea in the next post.
