Exhibition Director for the New York Botanical Gardens, Karen Daubmann, recently organized “Monet’s Garden,” an exhibition that features vegetation found in Monet’s garden in Giverny, France. Also on display are two Monet paintings that have never been exhibited in the U.S. In 2010, Daubmann curated a similar exhibit for the NYBG, recreating Emily Dickinson’s garden. Daubmann spoke to the Eye about Monet as gardener, social media’s role in the organization, and the environmental responsibilities of the Gardens.
