VIEWING ROOM
Andy Goldsworthy:
Ephemeral Works
An important part of his practice, Andy Goldsworthy’s signature ephemeral works are temporary sculptures lasting only a moment, incorporating materials collected on site—flowers and branches, dust and sheets of ice, wool shed by the sheep on nearby farms, as well as his own body.
“Ephemeral work made outside, for and about a day,” the artist explains, “lies at the core of my art.” We experience these delicate sculptures and actions through Goldsworthy’s photographs, where they continue to endure long after their making.
Haines Gallery’s new viewing room showcases an exclusive presentation of ephemeral works by the famed UK artist, many of them created from his home in rural Scotland in the spring and summer of 2020.
