Description
Whether located in the heart of a metropolis such as Chicago or on sprawling fields in the countryside, sculpture parks and gardens have become increasingly popular destinations for art and nature lovers alike. These art parks offer visitors a unique opportunity to interact with large-scale works designed for quiet contemplation in natural landscapes. Art Parks is the first comprehensive guide to North America's most important outdoor sculpture parks. Parks are divided into chapters thematically and by region, with four maps that locate parks within each geographic area. Each of the fifty-seven locations-from large-scale parks in the countryside to small urban gardens and corporate sculpture collections-is described in detail and beautifully photographed. With its handy flexibind format, it is equally at home in the traveler's backpack or on the sculpture lover's side table.
