Since 1995, Andy Goldsworthy has created a series of
artworks in Northwest England in sheepfolds: stone
enclosures found across the countryside that have been used
for assembling, sheltering, and washing sheep for hundreds
of years. After working on and off for more than a decade,
he completed thirty-five folds, often rebuilding them in the
process; many of them can now once again serve their
intended purpose. These form the core of Enclosure: they
reflect Goldsworthy’s lifelong interest in the land, its
history, and the people who work on it. They are accompanied
by a rich collection of ephemeral work related in various
ways to sheep, including a spectacular series of large sheep
paintings—paintings made by the hoof-prints of sheep. Enclosure, which joins the sublime tradition of the art and
literature of the landscape of the British Isles, is an
exciting addition to the series of eight bestselling books
that Goldsworthy has already produced for Abrams.
