Briefly

Leila Heller Gallery in New York is showcasing the debut exhibition of American photographer Aileen Bordman, featuring her captivating photographs of Claude Monet's gardens in Giverny, France. Running until May 3, 2025, the exhibit includes 15 images that evoke the essence of Impressionism, accompanied by a catalog with contributions from Bordman and curator Janis Gardner Cecil. Through her decades of painstaking study of Giverny and its transformation, Bordman aims to inspire visitors by capturing the serene beauty and historical significance of Monet's iconic landscape.
For over forty years, I have observed how Giverny has transformed, yet Monet's vision remains intact. Through my work, I seek to convey the serenity, energy, and intricate beauty of the garden, inspiring others to experience its magic.
The show features 15 photographs that explore the Impressionist master's carefully cultivated landscapes, accompanied by a catalog with texts by Bordman and curator Janis Gardner Cecil.
Bordman captures the light, colors, and nature that shaped the vision of the artist, using Sony cameras with Zeiss lenses, mirroring Monet's own.
The exhibition sheds light on the historical significance and ongoing preservation efforts of the garden, which was meticulously restored after years of neglect.
