A nice tribute by Martin Filler. Worth reading if you have an interest in how Maya Lin's career has taken shape. And of course, if you have not seen the Vietnam Memorial and you happen to be in D.C. - you really should make the time. Images cannot come close to the real thing. I got a very body-driven feeling of the enormity of the loss. Or, as Filler puts it: "In the new monograph, these and Lin’s other projects are illustrated with large color photographs. ... Furthermore, the strong physical (not to say psychic) responses that this environmental artist’s finest creations summon forth are beyond the mimetic capacities of even the most ingenious printed format."
