Piet Oudolf At Work

Piet Oudolf At Work - Cassian Schmidt, Noel Kingsbury, Hans Ulrich Obrist

A significant monograph on the Dutch garden designer, presenting his gardens and the largest collection of his drawings ever published. When you enter Piet Oudolf's garden, you find yourself in a fairy-tale meadow full of perennials, seasonal colors, and textures. This book, created in close collaboration with Oudolf, presents gardens from his entire career and from all over the world – from the famous New York High Line to the newly planted Vitra Campus in Germany. The book offers a new perspective on Oudolf's work and creative practice, from both horticultural and artistic viewpoints, and showcases well-known and less familiar gardens including the Lurie Garden in Chicago, Hauser & Wirth Somerset and Menorca, the Venice Biennale, the Singer Museum, Belle Isle in Detroit, Noma, and others. It provides unprecedented insight into his design process, work methods, and inspirations and includes original sketches and drawings, many of which are published here for the first time.
