This volume features photographs taken by Lee Friedlander (b. 1934) in the public parks and private estates designed by Frederick Law Olmsted (1822–1903), North America’s premier landscape architect. Olmsted was responsible for a staggering number of America’s greatest parks, including the Niagara reservation, Washington Park, and the Biltmore Estate, as well as the design for Central Park in New York City. This stunning compilation of photographs celebrates the complex and idiosyncratic picture-making of Friedlander, one of the country’s greatest living photographers, and also arrives upon the 150 year anniversary of Olmsted’s 1858 design for Central Park. Rambling with intent across bridges and through the parks’ open meadows and dense undergrowth, Friedlander finds pure pleasure in Olmsted’s landscapes—in the meticulous stonework, in the careful balance of sun and shade, and in the mature, weather-beaten trees that attest to the durability of Olmsted’s vision.

84 pages, 89 tritone photographs, 13 in. x 12 3/4 in. Hardcover, clothbound.
