“I think having land and not ruining it,” Andy Warhol once mused, “is the most beautiful art anybody could ever want to own.” In light of more than a few recent instances of artists violating the natural world in pursuit of beauty — an artist’s vandalism at Joshua Tree and another’s food-dye experiment in an Icelandic geyser — Warhol’s words seem to ring ever true.

Of course, Warhol wasn’t actually a land artist, nor was he defined by his love of public art. For that, we should turn to artists like conceptual fiend Anish Kapoor, environmental installation master Agnes Denes or large-scale sculptress Ann Hamilton. These are the men and women who populate the pages of Outdoor Art, a newly published book devoted to the “extraordinary sculpture parks and art in nature.”

Inlcuding massive monuments that stand apart from their surrounding landscapes and meticulously curated gardens chock full of camouflaged masterpieces, the tome compiled by German-based art historian Silvia Langen highlights the metamorphic power of creation.
