Review of the Landmark Trust hardcover (2016)
This is a lovely gem of a hardcover that documents an Antony Gormley sculpture commission to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of The Landmark Trust organization of historical building restorations and rentals in the UK.
Due to alphabetical credit listing, sculptor Gormley has top billing, followed by photographer Clare Richardson and only then by Jeanette Winterson who is the writer of the descriptive essays.
Winterson's text is as evocative and passionate about art and the environment as any of her non-fiction that I have read. It reminded me especially of her rather thrilling opening essay about art and painting in her Art Objects: Essays on Ecstasy and Effrontery (1996).
My thanks to Liisa and Martin & family for this lovely gift!
