Smithson, Robert (1938-1973) © ARS, NY
Proposal for a Monument at Antartica. 1966. Photostat, 19.5 x 27.9 cm (7 11/16 x 11 in.). Starting with a found photograph of oil tankers being pulled ashore, the artist added a strange crystalline structure-part Martian outpost, part Minimalist sculpture-to the scene. He then printed the montage as a photostat (a commercial technique used by architects), making it into an hallucinatory science-fiction vision of a prehistoric future. Purchase, The Horace W. Goldsmith Foundation Gift, through Joyce and Robert Menschel, 2001 (2001.292).
