Holland Park was installed at London’s Holland Park in 1967 by the artist. Later he was included in Lucy Lippard’s celebrated 'numbers' shows, 557,087 at Seattle Art Museum, Seattle, 1969 and at 955,000 Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, 1970. She physically installed the works herself at the time and then included in her celebrated Six Years: The Dematerialization of the Art Object from 1966 to 1972, the first anthology to document conceptual art made between 1966 and 1972.

This is perhaps the most famous of his self-titled ‘Scattered’ works, which he worked on for a decade: from 1967-1969. Using physical public space as his site, Louw interrupted and intervened in the landscape, in the same way that Richard Serra was doing simultaneously and of Holland Park, Louw said, “this work was very important at the time as it made the sculpture conform to its environment. The work looked perfectly natural among the sticks and leaves. It could have fallen from the trees. It is so different from something like Serra’s work [Spin Out]”.

Louw went on to represent Britain at Between Man and Matter, the famous 10th Tokyo Biennale in 1970, where he exhibited Rolled Lead Work (1970). He later spent time teaching and working in the USA and Canada where he exhibited in several of the Land Art exhibitions of the 70s before settling again in Cape Town, where he lived and worked up until his death.
