Sabancı University Sakıp Sabancı Museum (SSM) has already brought works by numerous world-famous artists to Turkey, and now exhibits spectacular paintings by the famous French artist Claude Monet, in cooperation with the Marmottan Monet Museum. Entitled Monet’s Garden, the exhibition will be held between 9 October 2012 and 6 January 2013. Sabancı Holding is the exhibition's main sponsor, with Le Méridien Istanbul Etiler as sponsor for accommodation, and support from Vista Tourism. Flowers and nature are the themes selected for this exhibition of works by Monet, who declared, "I perhaps owe having become an artist to flowers." Attention will focus on the Giverny Garden, the garden which Monet created with his own hands and was his greatest inspiration during the last years of his life.
The exhibition consists of works from the late period of the artist who gave the impressionist movement its name; including pictures of Claude Monet’s house in the Giverny Garden, garden scenes, water lilies and his famous Japanese bridge paintings. In addition signed portraits of Monet and his wife Camille by Auguste Renoir, personal possessions and photographs will be exhibited. The exhibition gives insight into Monet's innovative approaches during an artistic career that stretched into the first quarter of the 20th century, and his rejection of tradition that inspired young artists in the 1940s and 50s.
