Green-Wood Cemetery presents Eugene Richards launching 'Remembrance Garden: A Portrait of Green-Wood Cemetery'

In March 2020, photographer, writer and filmmaker Eugene Richards sought solace in Green-Wood after battling a severe case of COVID-19. Captivated by the Cemetery’s beauty, he spent years photographing its details and vistas across the seasons, creating lyrical images of snowbound headstones, grand mausoleums, intimate epitaphs, and the wear of time on all things.

Remembrance Garden: A Portrait of Green-Wood Cemetery chronicles Richards’ visits between April 2020 and September 2023. The book interweaves the names and dates inscribed on gravestones with Richards’ personal memories to create a poignant portrait of the Cemetery and its relationship with time and nature.
