exhibition statement

The Landscape Architecture Legacy of Dan Kiley was a traveling photographic exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Dan Kiley (1912-2004). Kiley was one of the nation’s most important postwar landscape architects. During his prolific career, which spanned more than half a century, he worked with equally significant architects, including Eero Saarinen, Louis Kahn, and I.M. Pei, to create internationally acknowledged Modernist masterpieces. Kiley's legacy is substantial, influential, and, like most Modernist designed landscapes, ephemeral.

The exhibition features 45 newly commissioned photographs of 27 of Kiley’s more than 1,000 designs, including: the Miller House and Garden, Columbus, IN; the Art Institute of Chicago South Garden, Chicago, IL; and one of his final residential projects, Patterns, a garden for Gov. & Mrs. Pierre S. “Pete” du Pont IV in Delaware.

This exhibition was curated and sponsored by TCLF.
