The Archer and Anna Huntington Sculpture Garden

"Capturing the majesty of Brookgreen Gardens, this book explores one of the nation's oldest and largest sculpture gardens, where more than 550 works of American figurative sculpture are displayed in landscaped settings. Having expanded to accommodate cultural and historic exhibits that illustrate the distinctive life, history, and natural beauty of the region, the gardens are located on a 10,000-acre nature preserve that stretches from the Waccamaw River to the Atlantic Ocean in the lowcountry of South Carolina. Detailed are how the concept for the gardens originated in the 1920s when philanthropist, author, and collector Archer M. Huntington and his wife, Anna Hyatt, a noted sculptor, purchased three historic plantations, and how over the years the Huntingtons purchased the works of major 19th- and 20th-century sculptors and commissioned settings for the placement of these works. Gardening enthusiasts will discover the legendary beauty and enchanting past of one of America's most celebrated public gardens, which was designated a National Historic Landmark and opened to the public in 1931."
