Dr Patrick Eyres: The Lost Landscapes of Ian Hamilton Finlay, and Others

1st April 2026

Dr Patrick Eyres will discuss the range of lost landscapes retrieved by the artist-illustrated New Arcadian Journal.

The talk will include the unrealised landscape installations of the ‘avant-gardener’, Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925-2006), that are featured in the current library display at the Henry Moore Institute. It will also include other artists’ gardens, lost following the death of their creators, as well as the NAJ’s retrieval of the presence and histories of 18th-century landscape gardens.

This event has been programmed alongside Henry Moore Institute’s current library display, The Lost Landscapes of Ian Hamilton Finlay.
