Is there a list of Andy Goldsworthy's "permanent" works (in Britain)? I fully intend to see his Storm King Wall (a short drive away in western New York), but it occurs to me that there may be some pieces in England or Wales that he's done and haven't melted or eroded or washed away yet. This would qualify as something I would be very excited to travel to see--the Spiral Jetty (not by Goldsworthy but an amazing piece of environmental art) was major highlight of my trip two years ago, so if there was something on our trajectory this time it would be great to try to see it.

If I'd thought of this a couple weeks ago I wouldn't ask, I'd just google a path to what I wanted. Too late to be clever! Must rely on hive mind!

Anyone?

EDITED TO ADD: I'd love to see any major public art or environmental art exhibit over there, not just Goldsworthy.

I only find the Grizedale Forest in England... Would they still be there?

I'm a big fan of his work. Wikipedia says:

for his permanent sculptures like "Roof", "Stone River" and "Three Cairns", "Moonlit Path" (Petworth, West Sussex, 2002) and "Chalk Stones" in the South Downs, near West Dean, West Sussex he has also employed the use of machine tools

Be sure to take pictures!

btw, Storm King isn't in western NY; it's actually not far from the CT border - if you take the Pike to 84, you'll be pretty close. It's less than 4 hours' drive!

Holy cow, you're right! I dont' know why but I thought it was way out on the western edge of the state. I think I was getting confused with farm sanctuary, which i'd also like to go to some time. Thanks for the 411!

If you'll be in London at noon on Friday, you might enjoy seeing Thomas Heatherwick's Rolling Bridge in action.
