- Lot Description
Suzaan Boettger is an art historian, critic, and lecturer based in New York City. Suzaan graduated from San Francisco State University, University of California Berkeley, and The City University of New York Graduate Center, and as a scholar, her primary areas of research have been environmental and environmentalist art. Suzaan’s book, "Earthworks: Art and the Landscape of the Sixties" (University of California Press, 2002), was acclaimed by The New York Times Book Review as the “definitive history”.
Her most recent book, "Inside the Spiral: The Passions of Robert Smithson" was acclaimed by The New York Times Book Review as “deep, engaging . . . a monumental achievement." This first biography of the major American artist Robert Smithson, famous as the creator of the Spiral Jetty, deepens understanding of his art by addressing the potent forces in his life that were shrouded by his success, including his suppressed early history as a painter; his affiliation with Christianity, astrology, and alchemy; and his sexual fluidity. Integrating extensive investigation and acuity, Suzaan Boettger uncovers Smithson’s story and, with it, symbolic meanings across the span of his painted and drawn images, sculptures, essays, and earthworks up to the Spiral Jetty and beyond, to the circumstances leading to what became his final work, Amarillo Ramp.
