Thu, 24 Jul 2008 00:00:00 -0700
The artist, creator of the controversial gardens, may no longer have design oversight but his vision has established deep roots. ARTIST Robert Irwin, designer of the Central Garden at the Getty Center, sits on a small curved bench in the dappled shade of London plane trees he chose. In the 10 years since the garden opened, the trees haven't quite created the canopy Irwin envisioned, but they will -- just without him around.
