About MeNewspaper article published in the Scotsman on Saturday 26 August 1995. The article became a part of the archive because it relates to Albert Speer, Hitler's foremost architect, with whom Finlay carried out a correspondence throughout the 1970s. The culmination of this correspondence was Finlay's 1979 series of watercolors, "A Walled Garden", based on the garden that Speer cultivated within the walls of Spandau Prison in Berlin where he was imprisoned since the Nuremberg Trials.This newspaper article is part of an archive that belonged to Joyce Laing, OBE. The artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, was a personal friend of the donor.
