| Summary: | "In the design and construction of the new Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas, an inspired mission to integrate world-class contemporary art into a state-of-the-art football stadium created an instant architectural icon." "Twenty-one works of contemporary art, most commissioned for specific sites within the stadium, were installed to dynamically complement the architecture. Artists ranging from established stars of the art world like Olafur Eliasson, Lawrence Weiner, and Mel Bochner were joined by mid-career artists such as Matthew Ritchie, Doug Aitken, Teresita Fernandez, and others, with the resulting collection rivaling any world-class museum." "Even without the art, Cowboys Stadium is an engineering marvel. A twenty-first-century retractable roof and endzone door system allows natural light and air to flood the column-free interior space, home to the world's largest video screen. Lauded by the Wall Street Journal as "simply mesmerizing," Cowboys Stadium is a work of art in its own right. This volume captures the exhilarating synergy of architecture, art, and entertainment in this distinctive landmark."--BOOK JACKET.
