The Cultural Landscape Foundations
Second Annual Landscape
Legends Silent Auction

The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) launched the Landscape Legends oral history initiative in 2003, with the goal of documenting, collecting, and preserving the unique, first-hand perspectives of renowned landscape practitioners, and to make them available for future generations of stewards, designers, and researchers in a free, online archive. To support the development of this important initiative, TCLF is conducting this second annual silent auction of art works including sketches, paintings, watercolors, photographs, scale models, and other ephemera executed by notable landscape architects and artists.

With generous support from the SWA Group and Topher Delaney, ASLA, TCLF has already filmed such landscape luminaries as Dan Kiley; Lawrence Halprin, FASLA; Richard Haag, FASLA; Ruth Patricia Shellhorn, FASLA; and Ted Osmundson, FASLA. As an ancillary activity to this year’s auction, the TCLF will also partner with the Society to interview and tape M. Paul Friedberg, FASLA, as part of our first collaborative, Inside the LA Studio session to be held Friday, October 6.
