Art of the Garden presents over 200 works from 1800 to today, revealing how painters, sculptors, photographers and contemporary artists have drawn on its imagery to explore themes of beauty, nature, identity and community. This expanded edition traces the garden’s shifting role – from private idyll to shared space, from backdrop for creativity to lifeblood of local communities – but also considers its urgent contemporary resonances.
Today, the garden is a powerful site for artists to engage with questions of climate crisis, environmental responsibility and the decolonisation of cultural and natural spaces. Featuring new essays from Olivia Laing and Claire Ratinon and interviews from Bob and Roberta Smith and Tom Stuart-Smith alongside original and updated essays, this volume combines scholarly depth with visual richness.
