DescriptionRobert Smithson, Broken Circle, Spiral Hill, 1971 (7873640704).jpg
Emmen, Holland
In June 1971, the American artist Robert Smithson (1938–1973) completed the land art project Broken Circle/Spiral Hill in a sand quarry in Emmen. Smithson made the work at the invitation of the Sonsbeek buiten de perken (Beyond the Pale) exhibition. Forty years following its completion, and after a highly eventful history, the work in Emmen is once again in good condition, and is the regular destination for those interested in Smithson’s work from all over the world. Broken Circle/Spiral Hill is the only ‘earthwork’ produced by Smithson still in existence outside the United States.
