Summary: "'Among the trees' brings together more than 30 international artists whose works explore our relationships with trees and forests. Beginning with pioneering works from the late 1960s - a decade that saw the emergence of the modern environmental movement - 'Among the trees' surveys a remarkably expansive artistic terrain. It invites us to consider trees as symbols and living organisms that have shaped human civilisation, and to celebrate their enduring resonance as a source of inspiration for some of the most compelling artists of our time" - back cover.
