In the past two years Frederik Meijer and his curator Joe Becherer
have assembled a significant private collection of large outdoor
sculpture, which is available for public viewing at the Frederik
Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids. This beautiful book presents more
than 100 color illustrations, with details of many of the
sculptures within the collection.
Recognized by both the art world and the general public, this
garden has a diverse landscape of artwork from sculptors such as
Rodin, Fredericks, Haring, di Suvero, Moore, Maillol, Hepworth,
Dine, Haring, and others. Using more well known materials such as
bronze and stainless steel as well as unusual materials like
industrial porcelain, the artists provide the garden with many
exciting visuals that the book will allow readers to bring
home.
A brief history describes the development of the sculpture park.
Biographies of the artists whose art grace this private collection
are included, which serves to broaden the viewer's understanding of
the pieces. Attention is given both to the artists' development of
their craft and to the part each sculpture plays in the garden as a
whole.
