I was blown away. If you sold that by the shot, that's about $10 million. That amazed...
...Foundation Enjoy lakes, woods, fields and a medieval castle as you wander amid this southern Swedish park's 40-plus installations - among them Maya Lin's large 11 Minute Line, a grass-covered earthen wall favored by grazing cows. On her last visit, Cartiere spotted a family picnicking in one of the works. And why not: Melissa Martin's Dining Room features a wooden table - never mind the tree growing through it - surrounded by chairs, empty window frames and beautiful forest. "Now that is visitor engagement," says Cartiere. More details at www.wanas.se...
