Provence · Artists · Gardens

Evocative and engaging, this glorious book is an exciting showcase and an original source of gardening inspiration – over twenty Provençal gardens styled by the minds and hands of artists.

• Jean-Claude Farhi and Bernar Venet have created sculpture parks with massive abstract works
• Sculptural silhouettes by Sacha Sosno frame their own landscape
• Assemblages created by Arman seem to grow along with the palms encircling his house
• Dominique Lafourcade has designed spaces that take inspiration from classic Italian gardens with geometric lines and hedges.

Droste-Hennings’s text traces the course of each artist’s career and explores the personal relationship each has with their creations.
