About MePaperback book with green dust cover, 40pp (unnumbered). This book accompanied an exhibition project by Ian Hamilton Finlay and the Galerie Stadtpark in Krems, Austria. The idea was to create the impression of being in the garden and the woodland when visiting the gallery or reading the book. This is not an exhibition catalogue; the sequence of the images in the book is different to those on the walls of the gallery, which reflects the difference in scale and space.This book is part of an archive that belonged to Joyce Laing OBE. The artist, Ian Hamilton Finlay, was a personal friend of the donor.
