About This Item
Washington, DC: Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Spacemaker Press, 2007. Softbound. VG (slipcase has bumps). Color illustrated wraps, slipcase of white glossy paper on boards. Volume I: [iv] 110 pages, 68 illustrations chiefly in color. Volume II: Catalogue, 161 pp., 137 illustrations, chiefly color. From Wikipedia: In 1969, House & Garden (magazine) invited Johanson to design a garden. While this was never built, the commission prompted an outpouring of visionary ideas-150 small sketches-which she has continued to draw upon over the years. The drawings, accompanied by essays and explanatory notes, were a departure from traditional garden designs and also a rejection of the formalist orientation of the1960s art world. Instead of art-for-art's sake, her garden designs embodied meaningfulness and functionality.
