From the Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island, NY, to the Oliver Ranch Foundation Sculpture Collection, Geyserville, CA, the growing trend is to view the American landscape through an aesthetic lens. Cigola, an Italian architect/writer based in New York City, defines art parks as open spaces where works of art are designed to coexist with the landscape. She provides a sampling of such spaces in US states classified as leisure spaces, learning spaces, or collectors' spaces. The book includes regional maps, full- and two-page color photographs, and a list of additional art parks. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
