La Petite Escalère : Le Jardin Des Haim
Auteur(s) : Dominique Haim, Jeannette Leroy Haim
In the Landes, between Bayonne and Peyrehorade, on the banks of the Adour, Jeannette Leroy, a photographer, and Paul Haim, an art dealer, created in the 1970s a sculpture garden around a modest farm, La Petite Escalère.
With the help of the gardener Gilbert Carty, in the middle of canals, bridges, railway sleepers, trees and flowers, they installed about fifty works, often monumental, by artists such as Rodin, Maillol, Cárdenas, Niki de Saint Phalle, Zao Wou-Ki, Françoise Lacampagne, Mark Di Suvero, Léger, Matta, Zigor... Paul Haim chose the location of the sculptures and, to make them disappear into nature, Jeannette Leroy planted a shrub, roses, dahlias, an oak, a maple, a ginkgo, a Caucasian walnut...
This book is dedicated to this extraordinary garden, taken over in 2012 by Dominique Haim, Paul Haim's daughter.
