Michael Heizer’s “bulldozer art” is a precedent for LACMA’s new David Geffen Galleries

“Would you have some time to connect with Michael Govan by phone?” The question, coming from a LACMA comms executive, seemed ominous. Govan, LACMA’s powerful director, had heard I was writing a piece comparing the museum’s new $730 million David Geffen Galleries to the land art of James Turrell, Michael Heizer, Walter De Maria, and others of their generation. I figured Govan, who knows as much about land art as anyone, was going to bury my theory under a boulder.
