£65.00
A first edition, first printing of Midsummer Snowballs by Andy Goldsworthy, published by Thames and Hudson, London in 2001, with introduction by Judith Collins and illustrated in colour throughout. A fine book free from internal inscriptions, the dark blue paper bound boards with publisher’s debossed dolphin logo to front panel, with silver titling to the spine, some very light shelf wear to foot of the spine and light spotting to the front free end paper and paste down, text blocks are bright and crisp. In a near fine wrapper with small internal damp stain to foot of the spine.
Midsummer Snowballs (2001) by Andy Goldsworthy documents a striking public art installation in London on 21st June 2000. Thirteen massive snowballs—each weighing about a ton—were placed across the city’s financial district. Concealing natural materials like feathers, seeds and rusted metal, the snowballs slowly melted over days, revealing their contents and sparking varied reactions from passers-by. With full colour photographs and an introduction by Judith Collins, the book captures this ephemeral blend of nature, time and urban life.
