Hot House: Flowers for after the Frost

Saturday, September 18, 2010—Sunday, May 29, 2011
Galleries 315 and 316
Free Exhibition

On view from the Equinox nearly until the Solstice, this floral free-for-all includes works from every department in the museum. As in any greenhouse, we can expect harmony and discord--abundant brilliant blossoms and a few that faltered. From Redouté to Warhol, Mondriaan [he used two a's in his early days] to Mapplethorpe, this is a mixed bouquet.
