In fifty years of professional work he has executed over sixty major sculpture and mural commissions for public spaces around the world. These include the international airports of Honolulu, Taipei and Los Angeles, the civic centers of Los Angeles, Newport Beach and Inglewood, and corporate centers in Taiwan, Manila, Salt Lake City, Dallas, Honolulu and San Francisco. Van Sant has had fifteen one-person exhibits in the United States, Europe and Australia. His art is represented in public and private collections throughout the world. Van Sant's professional skills and intellectual interests range to architectural design, city planning, art education and advanced technical invention. The GeoSphere Image marks a milestone in cartographic history. It is the first satellite map of Earth, showing the real world as it appears from space. The work required one year of effort by Van Sant and his technical team using the world's most powerful graphics computers. The image was first published as the title page of the 1990 National Geographic World Atlas. Since 1991 it has been adopted by all U.S. federal agencies, has been published in over 300 magazines and atlases, and is the largest selling image in the world. 1980 "REFLECTIONS FROM EARTH": the world's largest man-made image, commissioned by The Los Angeles Bicentennial Commission, carried out in cooperation with NASA, US Geological Survey, City of Los Angeles Survey and Earth Resources Satellite Data Processing Center. Size: 1.4 miles. Special assistance from Dr. William E. Evans, staff scientist, Stanford Research Institute. 1986 "EYES ON EARTH FROM SPACE": a real-time zoom from GOES-6 Satellite stationed 22,000 miles from the Earth, to the surface of the Earth, at the corner of Melrose and San Vicente Boulevards.
