Notable artists and architects also feature here: Monet, Le Corbusier, Mondrian,Wright, Mies van der Rohe and Gaudi among others. Land artists have brought landscape and the garden into the 21st century - including Robert Smithson and Kathryn Gustafson in the US, Richard Long, Andy Goldsworthy and Ian Hamilton Finlay in the UK. This book will delight and inform everyone with an interest in gardens and contemporary culture.
