30 Days of Tuscany- Day 2- DANIEL SPOERRI GARDEN, SEGGIANO, TUSCANY

10 years 8 months ago - 10 years 8 months ago #290707 by Tuscan Muse
Daniel Spoerri is a Swiss artist who moved to the Tuscan town of Seggiano in 1997. He blessed the town by opening a sculpture garden, where over 100 works by Spoerri and various artists are displayed. Spoerri personally chose the participating artists and their work is done in various mediums. The collection continues to grow in this 16 hectare, open air art gallery. The installations are wondrously displayed among the woods and meadows with surrounding views of the valley.

This location is always a favorite of the photographers participating in our workshops and tours. "Il Giardino" is filled with surprises around every corner. We are always amazed when we return at the end of the day. "Where was that?" "Did you see this?" Photographing the garden is like going on a photographic Easter egg hunt. Typically, during dinner we compare photos and choose the "Prize Egg" of the day.

Our next photography tour is in October. tuscanmuse.com/index.php/workshops-tours/through-a-tuscan-lens

Here are a few of my favorite sculptures from the garden:



This is the "topsy-turvy" house designed and sculpted by Spoerri.



Another shot at the "topsy-turvy" house.



This is hands down my favorite sculpture in the garden.



There are busts scattered throughout the garden. This fellow always looks familiar. He's everyone's goofy cousin.



Look up, way up, or you will miss this guy.



Go through a stand of trees and suddenly, our elephant friend appears in a clearing.



As an avid reader, I love "Woman with Book."



Cuppa, cuppa of Joe.
