Material Interchange for Joe Stranard, Aspen, Colorado

Dennis Oppenheim American

Not on view

During the 1960s Oppenheim, Robert Smithson, and others sought to liberate sculpture from the pedestals of the gallery and museum, choosing instead to make ephemeral, antimonumental works that were inextricably bound to their sites and dependent upon photography to provide evidence of their fleeting existence. Oppenheim was particularly interested in the terrains of both the landscape and the human body as potential sites for markings or gestures.
