This book is possibly the first in Australia to present a major sculpture collection of more than thirty monumental works by leading Australian sculptors in the landscape context of a productive working farm. Elgee Park, located at Merricks North on Victoria's Morning Peninsula, is renowned for its Quarter Horse Stud and the historic Elgee Park Winery. Over the past 25 years Baillieu Myer and his family have added yet another dimension to the property by assiduously collecting large-scale outdoor works by sculptors such as Clement Meadmore, Ron Robertson-Swann, Robert Klippel, Inge King, Lenton Parr, Geoffrey Bartlett, Bruce Armstrong, David Wilson and many others. Author, Ken Scarlett, has arranged the sculptures in the book according to where they are located on a series of separate walks around the farm. The sculptures, their landscape settings, daily activities and the beautiful gardens of Elgee park are the subjects of Mark Chew's dramatic photographs taken over all four seasons of the year at Elgee Park.
