A vibrantly colourful selection of watercolours and gouaches of 25 of the most exclusive and inspiring gardens around the world by Swiss artist Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff. Over the past 30 years, Christian Peltenburg-Brechneff, a Swiss-born painter who works entirely in situ, has travelled around the world to visit the most glorious private gardens. He has created a vibrantly coloured visual record of 25 of them in this charming gift-sized book of watercolours and gouaches. With contacts among the international elite, the author has gained permission to enter some of the most exquisite and heretofore unrecorded gardens in the United States, Sri Lanka, and Japan. An introduction by the most famous gardener of all, Bunny Williams, and an essay by art critic Donald Kuspit, illuminates the work and puts it into context.
