Overview

Linda Rutenberg's images capture an astonishing world hidden in plain sight. By photographing public and botanical gardens at night - from San Francisco to Brooklyn, from Dallas to Montreal - Rutenberg reveals a luminous landscape of plants, colours, shadows, and light. Twenty-one gardens throughout North America, each with its own unique regional vegetation, are seen here in an entirely new way - intimate portraits of flowers and leaves seem to glow in the blackness, revealing a secret night time world of subtle yet vibrant beauty. An essay by celebrated author Jamaica Kincaid illuminating the mystique of gardens combines with a lush package to make ""The Garden at Night"" a lavish volume perfect for art-lovers and garden-lovers alike.
