Closing Bell: New Art Exhibit for the Queens Botanical Garden

The Queens Botanical Garden is debuting a new art exhibit at its Gallery of the Visitor and Administration Building on Tuesday, November 5th. It’s H. David Stein’s “Deconstructed Flowers,” a mosaic of flora photography that is distinctively detailed. According to the QBG, “His intricate photographs pull out the dimensional presence of flowers using a special technique which layers multiple photographs into a single montage. The end result shows many views of the flower’s beauty in a single image.” Stein previously served as the chairman of surgery at Flushing Hospital and started studying at the International Center of Photography after retirement. He has since shown his work at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C., the Salmagundi Club and The Mamaroneck Artist Guild. The Queens Botanical Garden exhibit will be on view to the public for free Tuesdays through Saturdays, 8 am to 4 pm. The exhibit will run until Saturday, January 25th.
