Condition Report: As New: The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.

Catalogue Note: An "As New" copy of Phaidon’s definitive global guide to the world's most extraordinary permanently installed artworks. This comprehensive volume is an essential companion for the "art pilgrim," curating 500 must-see installations from the last century—ranging from massive land-art projects in remote deserts to hidden urban gems. The book is lauded for its practical utility, featuring GPS coordinates, addresses, and accessibility symbols, making it a functional travel tool as well as a visual delight. This copy is in impeccable, unread condition, perfect for an art enthusiast planning their next journey or an armchair traveler exploring the world’s landscapes from home.

Destination Art invites you on a world tour of the most significant and travel-worthy art installations created over the last 100 years. Moving beyond the traditional gallery space, the book highlights works where the location is as vital as the art itself. Readers will discover iconic pieces by masters such as Marina Abramović, Alexander Calder, Yayoi Kusama, and Richard Serra. Whether tucked away in city centers, sprawling across nature reserves, or hidden in remote mountains, these works are showcased through superb photography and concise, informative texts. It serves as both a beautiful coffee-table book and a reliable gazetteer for those seeking immersive, multi-sensory encounters with art in its native environment.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
