Art Garden Making Works

Walking into Keeyla Meadows garden, you are struck by the sheer exuberance of plants and greeted by a riot of color that flows gracefully throughout the space. In this beautiful new book, an award-winning garden designer and artist shows how to turn a gardener into an artist and a garden into a work of art. Keeyla uses her own fanciful garden to illustrate key artistic concepts such as working with harmonies and contrasts in color selection, organization of shapes in space, and placement of garden features to transform the average garden into an artistic world. Budding garden artists everywhere will love the 120 full-color detailed photographs of the authors garden, which has been featured in Sunset, Metropolitan Home, and Fine Gardening. Making Gardens Works of Art frees both the garden and the gardener -- and neither will be the same again.

In the early 1990s the design and creation of the Central Garden at the Getty Center were entrusted to the distinguished contemporary visual artist Robert Irwin. Irwin -- a member of California's "light and space" movement -- was an unexpected choice for this major commission, and his work has aroused intense interest in the art world and among gardening enthusiasts and visitors to the Getty Center. In Robert Irwin Getty Garden, Lawrence Weschler offers a lively account of the creation of what Irwin has playfully termed "a sculpture in the form of a garden aspiring to be art." Weschler's narrative is followed by a transcript of conversations in which he and Irwin, in a series of walks through the garden, discuss in detail the decisions, both philosophical and practical, that shaped the making of this major art work in Southern California. The book contains more than 150 color illustrations, many of them specially commissioned from photographer Becky Cohen. The photographs capture the stunning variety of colors and textures of the plant forms selected by Irwin. They also reveal the care and precision that went into the creation of each element of the garden environment, from the handrails and lighting fixtures to the huge azalea rings and waterfall that make a visit to the Getty Central Garden a unique experience. Robert Irwin has exhibited widely in galleries and museums in North America and abroad. In 1993 the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles initiated a major retrospective of his work that subsequently traveled to Paris, Madrid, and Cologne.
