Item Number: 126845 Title: Grounds and Gardens The John And Mable Ringling Museum of Art; Art Spaces Author: Zaremba, Maureen ; Kevin Green Price: Not Available ISBN: 9781857597820 Description: New York, London: Scala Arts and Heritage Publishers, 2013. 17 x 11cm., pbk., 56pp., illus., most in color. Summary : The beauty of the Ringling Museum is not confined to the galleries. As the latest in Scala's series of books on the Ringling Museum's campus, Grounds and Gardens is the first book to celebrate the extensively landscaped grounds of this world famous Museum. First among its landscaping projects was Mable Ringling's beloved rose garden, which began in 1913. Inspired by gardens she had seen on trips to Europe, Mable built the garden using an Italian-inspired wagon-wheel design with a graceful gazebo at the center. Beside the Ringling's mansion, Ca' d'Zan, Mable next created what is now called the "Secret Garden", probably a private retreat from the demanding obligations she experienced as a society hostess.
