Andy Goldsworthy is one of my favourite contemporary artists. I've visited most of his big works in America, like the Roof in DC, and the Wall at the Storm King Art Center in New York State, and the Cracked Line in Frisco. I really enjoyed reading this book because it's got pretty much every work of art Goldsworthy's created, right from the beginnings, when he was an art student in Britain. Some of those early pieces are nearly so well-known, so it has been handy having them included in this book.
It's very useful having all of the information that's out there on Andy Goldsworthy in one place. I've done research on Goldsworthy's art for my studies, and it can take a long time tracking down everything, because it's all over the place.
I've got the big colour art books by Goldsworthy, and this book is a great complement to those books (they have an essay or two, but much more important are the journal entries by Goldsworthy himself).
Andy Goldsworthy: Touching Nature also has the most comprehensive bibliography of sources for writings and websites about the artist I've found.
