Green Thoughts and Memories
Discovers the importance of gardening in the work of Swiss-American photographer Marina Schinz. Gardens and flowers have been a core subject of Marina Schinz's career. This found expression in her previous books Visions of Paradise, The Gardens of Russell Page, and A Tuscan Paradise. Visiting and photographing countless gardens around the world made her engage in gardening herself and culminated in major garden design projects for her houses, first in the Hudson Valley and later near Piacenza in Italy. In Green Thoughts and Memories, Schinz looks back at her gardening adventures, interweaving horticultural observations with memoirs of her childhood in Zurich. Entertaining and engaging at the...
Frank Stella, 1970-1987
Shows examples of Stella's large scale paintings, constructions, and reliefs created over the last seventeen years, and discusses the themes, style, and materials of his work.
The Gardens of Russell Page
A new edition, completely redesigned and including new photographs, of the classic account of Russell Page’s garden designs. Perhaps the greatest garden designer of the twentieth century, Russell Page (1906–85) was trained as an artist, and brought an architectural sensibility and a keen eye for style to the many vast garden projects that he undertook. With the assistance and co-operation of Page’s clients, Schinz and van Zuylen have researched and photographed all of his best work, both early and late, and some now no longer extant. Through his private files and unpublished writing, the man and his work are brought into sharp focus, and over 250 photographs capture the special beauty of his creations in England, America and throughout continental Europe.

A Gentle Plea for Chaos
In this book the author describes the way her garden evolved and how, without meaning to do so, she let it take over her life. She suggests moving away from planning, regimentation and gardening with the mentality of a stamp-collector. Frequently funny and always stimulating, she writes of the alchemy of gardens, of the 19th-century plant-collectors and plant illustrators and of the gardening philosophers, all fertilizing great thoughts along with their hollyhocks. She won the 1988 Sinclair Consumer Press Garden Writer of the Year Award.
Tuscan Paradise
For "A Tuscan in Paradise", Marina Schinz focuses on all the beauty to be found in Tuscany. At Valle Pinciole, the home of Italian friends, she records changing seasons, Renaissance landscapes, distinctive furnishings, and sublime plantings, all with the discerning eye that has made her one of the the world's preeminent photographers. 150+ color photos.
