We talked about Robert Smithson in my critical theory class...a lot of his work is mathematically based.  The drawing of his, "A Heap of Language", which was made in 1966, is widely talked about in art historical circles.  It uses a traditional grid format that was typical in the 50s and 60s.  He also does some cool geometrical earthworks.


Here's a link to his website:  Robert Smithson

speaking of earthwork artists another amazing artist is Andy Goldsworthy which I'm sure you may be familiar with, his pieces also deal heavily with geometry.
