Modern Garden Design: Innovation Since 1900

From Europe to South America, from Japan to the United States, this widely varied survey covers the work of garden and landscape designers like William Robinson, Gertrude Jekyll, and Beatrix Farrand; traces the revolutionary change in the postwar period by the “Harvard Rebels” Garrett Eckbo, James Rose, and Dan Kiley; and examines the modern impact of Isamu Noguchi, Roberto Burle Marx, and Luis Barragán. Illustrated with 121 color and 92 black and white photos and drawings, the book also considers artists and architects who have influenced the history of the modern garden, including Claude Monet, Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright, Antoni Gaudí, Kathryn Gustafson, and Andy Goldsworthy.
