Piet Oudolf at Work
Author: Piet Oudolf
Publisher: Phaidon Press
A major monograph on the Dutch garden designer, "Piet Oudolf at Work" features his gardens and the largest collection of his drawings ever published.
Step into a Piet Oudolf garden and you are transported into a dreamlike meadowscape, filled with perennials, seasonal color and texture. Made in close collaboration with Oudolf, this book showcases gardens throughout his career and across the globe — from New York's acclaimed High Line to the newly planted Vitra Campus in Germany. The book offers fresh insight into the work and creative practice of Oudolf, both from a horticultural and artistic perspective, showcasing high-profile and lesser-known gardens, including Chicago's Lurie Garden, Hauser & Wirth Somerset and Menorca, Venice Biennale, Singer Museum, Belle Isle in Detroit, Noma and others.
It offers unprecedented insight into his design process, working methods and inspirations, and features original sketches and drawings — many of which are published here for the first time.
This major new monograph is significant not only for its breadth and the largest collection of Oudolf's drawings ever published but also for its inclusion of brand-new work, together with newly commissioned essays that place his work in context and offer a fresh perspective on his career and significance.
