"From Edward James's surreal sculpture garden Las Pozas in Mexico to Anselm Kiefer's sprawling studio complex in the French countryside, artists and art collectors are creating outdoor spaces in order to display sculpture and art that is both transformative and powerful. This book is filled with breathtaking photographs of 25 of these spaces from throughout the world--many of which are not open to the public. Captured in brilliant colour, these spaces are populated by works that both enhance and are enhanced by the landscape: rolling hills, mountain lakes, shaded canyons and empty deserts. Readers will discover Anish Kapoor's startling red steel tube draped across the rolling hills of New Zealand and an enormous pumpkin created by Yayoi Kusama, which sits on a pier overlooking Japan's Seto Inland Sea. Each park's concept is based on a unique theme or idea and some of these spaces invite contemplation both spiritual and scientific, while others blend horticultural elements with manmade objects. As large-scale works grow in popularity, these collections--built and designed by entrepreneurs, landscape architects, environmentalists, artists and garden experts--demonstrate the endless possibilities of displaying art in nature's realm."--Publisher's website.

My only problem is the venues which are NOT included, which to my mind include some should-not-be-missed sites. There is, for example, a nod to the Storm King Art Center, in the form of a photo and a reference in the introduction, but the place merits a fuller treatment. In addition, I was disappointed when I found that the Hakone Outdoor Museum outside of Tokyo was not included, and would have loved to have seen Sweden's Wan sculpture garden included.
For those who want a book that shows many beautiful outdoor gardens, this is perfect. For those who want a wider-ranging and more practical guide to places they might want to visit, additional information would be helpful -- for example, "Sculpture Parks in Europe: A Guide to Art and Nature". ( )
