At the end of the 1960s, Land Art emerged - the so-called Earthworks. Artists like Michael Heizer, Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson, unsatisfied with restrictions in painting and sculpture, exhibition spaces and the art world, set off for the open spaces in rural America. There, they made radical pieces on a grand scale. Digging with heavy machinery, piling rocks, using natural elements like water, light and even attracting lightning, they rethought the relationship between humans, art and nature.
