From Claude Monet's Giverny to Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant's Charleston, from Henry Moore's sculpture park to Jennifer Bartlett's tri-level rooftop city garden, artists have brought their special talents to bear on the creation of their personal gardens. This volume presents more than 25 unique gardens, focusing primarily on those designed by the most celebrated artists of the late 19th and 20th centuries. Garden designer Madison Cox explores the philosophical relation between a garden and an artist's work and knowingly describes each artist's plantings and garden style. An international list of artists' gardens open to the public concludes the book.
