Nancy Holt (April 5, 1938 – February 8, 2014) was an American artist most known for her public sculpture, installation art and land art. Throughout her career, Holt also produced works in other mediums, including film, photography, and writing artist’s books. ==Biography== Nancy Holt was born in Worcester, Massachusetts. An only child, she spent a great deal of her childhood in New Jersey,〔Van Wagner, Judy Collischan. ''Long Island Estate Gardens'' (Greenvale New York: Hillwood Art Gallery, May 22-June 21, 1985), 42.〕 where her father worked as a chemical engineer and her mother was a homemaker.〔Randy Kennedy (February 12, 2014), (Nancy Holt, Outdoor Artist, Dies at 75 ) ''New York Times''.〕 She studied biology〔 at Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts.〔 Three years after graduating, she married fellow environmental artist Robert Smithson in 1963. Holt began her artistic career as a photographer and as a video artist. In 1974, she collaborated with fellow artist Richard Serra on ''Boomerang'', in which he videotaped her listening to her own voice echoing back into a pair of headphones after a time lag, as she described the disorienting experience.〔 Her involvement with photography and camera optics are thought to have influenced her later earthworks, which are “literally seeing devices, fixed points for tracking the positions of the sun, earth and stars.”〔Arnason, H.H. ''History of Modern Art.'' 5th ed. (Upper Sadlle River, New Jersey: Prentice Hall, Inc., 2004).〕 Today Holt is most widely known for her large-scale environmental works, ''Sun Tunnels'' and ''Dark Star Park''. However, she created site and time-specific environmental works in public places all over the world. Holt contributed to various publications, which have featured both her written articles and photographs. She also authored several books. Holt received five National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships, New York Creative Artist Fellowships, and a Guggenheim Fellowship.〔 Holt along with Beverly Pepper was a recipient of the International Sculpture Center's 2013 Lifetime Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award. From 1995 to 2013, she worked and resided in Galisteo, New Mexico.〔Grosenick, Uta, ed. ''Women Artists in the 20th and 21st Century,'' (London: Taschen, 2005).〕 In 2008 Holt helped rally opposition to a plan for exploratory drilling near the site of Smithson’s ''Spiral Jetty'' at the Great Salt Lake in rural Utah.〔〔Helen Stoilas (October 23, 2008), (Land Art: here today, gone tomorrow? ) ''The Art Newspaper''.〕 After Smithson’s death, Holt never remarried.〔 Holt died in New York City on February 8, 2014 at the age of 75.〔http://articles.latimes.com/2014/feb/15/local/la-me-nancy-holt-20140216〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nancy Holt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
