Olmsted Trees With Stanley Greenberg

Brooklyn Bird  Club

Learn about Stanley Greenberg's newly released book, Olmsted Trees.

Central Library

<p>Fundamental to renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted's vision in his park designs was the role of time. He had the ability to see a plot of land for what it was in the raw undeveloped state, as well as to visualize how his designs would translate several decades into the future after the trees and shrubs he planted had rooted and spread and integrated with the space. This concept, which was an essential element to Olmsted's projects, is harnessed by current-day photographer Stanley Greenberg, in his new book, Olmsted Trees, (Hirmer, Fall 2022). The Brooklyn-based photographer has created striking black and white portraits of the trees that date to the beginnings of these parks. From Olmsted's Central and Prospect Park designs in New York, to the Emerald Necklace in Boston, or park systems in Milwaukee, Chicago, and Louisville, Greenberg's body of work functions as both an homage to Olmsted, and a message about the importance of caretaking the current fragile state of our Earth's natural environment.</p><p>Tickets must be reserved in advance as the Information Commons Space is restricted to 55 people total.
