Yesterday’s No Words Daily Pix was photographed at East Hampton’s Long House Reserve. The sculpture, "The Sea of the Ear Rings," is by Takashi Soga. Fly’s Eye Dome," the geodesic dome in the ackground is by Buckminister Fuller. These are just two of the many sculptures on the grounds of the 16-acre home and garden of Jack Lenor Larsen, renowned textile designer, who is now 80 years old. His"art focused" garden may be his true legacy. Here’s the blurbage from the website:

    Longhouse Reserve was built as a case study to exemplify a creative approach to contemporary life-style, and with the belief that the visitor experiencing a living space in the full round has a unique learning experience–far removed from the commercial priorities of model rooms or show houses.

    Inspired by the famous Japanese shrine at Ise, LongHouse contains 13,000 square feet, 18 spaces on four levels. The gardens present the designed landscape as an art form in its own right.

    The grounds also offer a diversity of sites for the preservation of multifarious species where they can flourish for generations to come.

The landscaping of unusual plantings is lush and artful, as is the way that contemporary sculpture by a host of sculptors is installed all around.

Permanent and long-term installations include Lynda Benglis, Louise Bourgeois, Buckminister Fuller, Sol LeWitt, Bryan Hunt, Dale Chihuly, William de Kooning, Grace Knowlton, Yoko Ono, Peter Voulkos Toshiko Takezu and many others.

The garden is only open on Wednesday and Saturday from 2-5 p.m. On Saturday mornings there are sound meditation tours at 8 a.m.
