The Norton Simon Museum's enchanting sculpture garden, designed by Nancy Goslee Power, is explored in this beautifully illustrated book, with principal photography by Tim Street-Porter 'A Living Work of Art: The Norton Simon Museum Sculpture Garden' tells the fascinating story of the evolution of the Museum property into the lush and inspiring garden it is today. After a rich history as a California landmark and art institution, the Museum and garden underwent a major renovation in the late 1990s under the direction of architect Frank Gehry. As part of the Museum's renovation, landscape designer Nancy Goslee Power reimagined the property, transforming it into a verdant park inspired by Monet's garden at Giverny. The spectacular pond and year-round palette of colour delight visitors, as do the monumental sculptures that greet visitors at the entrance, and then surprise those exploring the meandering paths in the main garden: works by Aristide Maillol, Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Robert Rauschenberg, and others. The lower garden, with Indian and Cambodian sculptures, provides a contemplative backdrop for the Museum's South and Southeast Asian collection. AUTHOR: Leslie C. Denk is the Norton Simon Museum s Director of Public Affairs. Carol Togneri is Chief Curator of the Norton Simon Museum. 102 colour, 17 b/w
