Publisher's Synopsis
Garfield Park Conservatory is one of the largest and most stunning botanical conservatories in the nation. Often referred to as "landscape art under glass," the Conservatory showcases thousands of plant species from around the world throughout eight indoor display gardens. Year-round, visitors can enjoy the lush flora and tropical temperatures indoors, or more than 10 acres of outdoor gardens, nature play spaces for children, a water lily pond, and much more. With his fourth photography book, the author documents the Garfield Park Conservatory. Color and black-and-white photos capture the many varieties of plants and fauna inside the greenhouses, as well as the trees, ponds, and grassy fields located among the outdoor grounds. This cheerful monograph collection will be embraced by all lovers of street photography, nature photography, and modern art. The second edition of this book features a revised cover, previously unseen photos from the original session, a reduced and more tightly edited page count, and a new introductory essay from the artist.
