Sculpture parks and gardens in America are a relatively recent development dating back to the 1930s with the establishment of Brookgreen in South Carolina. This is the first guide to 85 sculpture gardens and over 120 other sculpture attractions in America from the recently opened Kykuit, at the Rockefeller Estate in Tarrytown, New York, to the fabulous Hirshchorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC. The world's greatest sculptors, Rodin, Calder, Noguchi, Moore, Oldenburg and countless others are on display at these various sites. In addition, a wide range of America's most eccentric folk art is described. Anyone who loves art and wants to know where best to find it, will find this a most valuable guidebook.

These art parks offer visitors a unique opportunity to interact with large-scale works designed for quiet contemplation in natural landscapes.

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.

This innovative book poses two, deceptively simple, questions: what is a sculpture garden, and what happens when you give equal weight to the main elements of landscape, planting and artwork? Its wide-ranging frame of reference, including the USA, Europe and Japan, is brought into focus through Tremenheere Sculpture Garden, Cornwall, with which the book begins and ends. Effectively less than 15 years old, and largely the work of one man, Tremenheere affords an opportunity to examine as work-in-progress the creation of a new kind of sculpture garden. Including a historical overview, the book traverses multiple ways of seeing and experiencing sculpture gardens, culminating in an exploration of their relevance as 'cultural ecology' in the context of globalisation, urbanisation and climate change. The thinking here is non-dualist and broadly aligned with New Materialisms and Material Feminisms to explore our place as humans in the non-human world on which we depend. Eminent contributors, including John Dixon Hunt, George Descombes, Bernard Lassus and David Leatherbarrow, approach these issues through practices and theories of landscape architecture; garden and art making; history and writing; and philosophy. Richly illustrated with over 100 images, including a colour plate section, the book will primarily appeal to those engaged in professional or academic research, along with sculpture garden visitors, who will find new and surprising ways of experiencing plants and art in natural and urban settings.
