The Cultural Landscape Foundation (TCLF) launched the Pioneers of American Landscape Design initiative in partnership with the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) 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 date, TCLF has filmed such luminaries as M. Paul Friedberg, Edward L. Daugherty, Richard Haag, Lawrence Halprin, Carol R. Johnson, Dan Kiley, Robert Royston, and Ruth Patricia Shelhorn.

To support the development of this and other important educational initiatives, TCLF is conducting its fourth annual silent auction of artwork. This year’s auction features more than fifty sketches, paintings, photographs, books, clothing, garden furniture, and other ephemera executed by notable landscape architects and artists. In addition to the diverse collection of work by both veteran and emerging landscape architects, the auction will include more than a dozen works by celebrated photographers from across the country.

TCLF is extremely grateful for the generous support from ASLA in making the silent auction possible. We also greatly appreciate the support of all those who have donated their time, work, and talent.
