Join us for a conversation exploring the intersection of photography and horticulture through the exhibition Edward Steichen and the Garden. Panelists will examine Steichen’s engagement with the garden through his work as a photographer, painter, and plant breeder. Drawing on curatorial research and landscape expertise, the discussion will illuminate Steichen’s garden as both a living artwork and a creative laboratory.
The conversation will be moderated by Daniel Peacock, assistant curator, Department of Photography, and will feature Sarah McNear, exhibition curator, and Byron Smith, landscape manager.
Following the program, Sarah McNear will sign copies of the exhibition catalogue in the concourse. The galleries and gardens will remain open to visitors until 8 p.m.
