David Nolan Gallery in New York is presenting “Ian Hamilton Finlay: Fragments,” an exhibition marking the centenary of the Scottish artist Ian Hamilton Finlay (1925–2006). On view through June 7, 2025, the show features works from the late 1970s through the late 1990s in mediums including porcelain, ceramic, stone, bronze, plaster, metal, and prints. It highlights Finlay’s multidisciplinary practice as an artist, poet, philosopher, and gardener, with notable pieces such as *Watering Can (Shenstone)* (1995) and references to his famous garden *Little Sparta* (1966). The exhibition coincides with a book of the same title containing 100 works and fragmentary texts by writers including Stephen Bann, Tom Lubbock, and Alec Finlay.
