Scope and Contents The second edition brings up to date Finlay's career and adds two new chapters. MSNBC March 28, 2006 Ian Hamilton Finlay, one of Scotland's best known artists, died Monday. He was 80. Finlay, whose work included sculpture, poetry and philosophy, died peacefully at a nursing home in Scotland after a long illness, said Victoria Miro, a spokeswoman for his gallery in London. The artist's relationship with nature lay at the heart of his work, and his most famous legacy is "Little Sparta," the garden of his farmhouse at Stonypath in Dunsyre, Scotland, southwest of Edinburgh. Finlay moved to Stonypath in 1966 and set about transforming the plot into a neoclassical sculpture garden. Every surface, from benches to headstones and obelisks, is inscribed with his words. Stonypath was recently voted the greatest Scottish artwork of all time and it remained Finlay's home until his death. Last month, Finlay's work was included in the Tate Triennial, a major survey of contemporary British art....
