The Narrative Art of Peter Hutchinson: A Retrospective (Provincetown Artists Series)

Although Peter Hutchinson has been working with land art since the 1960s, he has yet to receive his proper due. His work isn't found in galleries and he doesn’t practice the kind of sensationalism that is typical of the art world. He is a refreshingly modest artist, and his delicate, fleeting work is extraordinarily beautiful, remarkably intelligent, and endlessly charming. It is our hope that Thrown Rope will place Hutchinson where he belongs: in the canon of modern art alongside Andy Goldsworthy and Robert Smithson. 
Hutchinson's works are ephemeral and evanescent, produced out in the open, where they are subject to the whims of nature. Much of it is the product of his "thrown rope" method—literally throwing ropes over an expanse of land, then placing lime or planting flowers along the lines deter-mined by the ropes. The result is a snakelike garden or swerving lines of bleached land. Hutchinson has even thrown ropes underwater, planting flowers at the bottom of a lake or stringing oranges or onions beneath the water's surface. 
Such projects are just a slice of Hutchinson's many conceptual pieces. The photographs within Thrown Rope are all that exists to document Hutchinson's career. Reproduced here along with Hutchinson's own hand-written notes, they provide an inspirational look at one of the most underappreciated artists of our time.

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is frequently acclaimed as the greatest poet writing in German in the twentieth century, and the 'Duino Elegies' are regarded as his crowning poetic achievement as a poet. -- The ten contributions that make up this book, all close readings, deal with Rilke's language and imagery as a means of highlighting the poetic qualities of these poems. The interpretations also confront the reader with the great themes of Rilke's oeuvre, presented in a cycle that moves gradually to an acceptance of the limitations of human life and death.

This retrospective catalog of works by Peter Hutchinson constitutes one of the most important of the past few decades. The British-born, U.S.-based Hutchinson--a pioneer of Ecological Art, also called Earth Art or Land Art--visualizes our world as an artistic utopia. His photo-collages, object boxes, sculptures and films, as well as documentary and poetic texts, articulate fundamental questions about man's relationship to the world we inhabit. Hutchinson's use of natural materials and development of outdoor, site-specific artworks mean that many of his pieces are located on the interface between art and nature. This volume, documenting more than 20 years of lyrical work, does justice to Hutchinson's stunning vision of ''dreamed paradises.'' Includes an interview with the artist and several fine essays.
