Mapping The Empty: Eight Artists And Nevada, by William L. Fox. 200 pages. Publisher: University of Nevada Press (March 1, 1999). ISBN-10: 0874173140. ISBN-13: 978-0874173147. Product Description: "Throughout his career, poet and art writer William Fox has addressed the concatenation of issues imbedded in the relationships between art, land, and history. Nevada's vast open spaces have long inspired complex responses from a population largely shaped by European sensibilities toward land and its uses-responses ranging from the romantic to the deadly. In Mapping the Empty, Fox considers how eight of the state's most distinguished and innovative contemporary artists have responded to the harsh, enigmatic landscapes of the Great Basin and how, through their work, they have expressed and helped to define the West." (text courtesy of Amazon.com)
