The Wirtz Private Garden

Back in stock at last! This deluxe volume presents 200 gorgeous color reproductions of the exquisite private gardens of the Belgian landscape designers, Jacques Wirtz and his sons Martin and Peter. In a 2004 New York Times feature, Pilar Viladas wrote, "Renowned for his sculptural treatment of time-honored garden staples like boxwood and yew hedges - he has done for them what Richard Serra has done for steel - Jacques Wirtz also possesses a virtuoso knowledge of plants and flowers. His painterly handling of light and shadow, like that of 17th-century Flemish painters, gives him 'a great power to evoke space...'" One of our top ten Holiday Gift Books for Collectors of Limited Editions, this staff favorite blows all other landscape design books away. It is the ideal gift for anyone interested in landscape design, gardens, horticulture or landscape photography.
