Flower Power
Flower Power at the New York Botanical Garden brings together a garden-wide program that considers flowers as cultural symbols across art, music, and social history. Spanning the Conservatory, outdoor grounds, and gallery spaces, the exhibition includes a mix of plant installations, archival material, and artworks from the 1960s and ’70s, with contributions by figures such as Andy Warhol alongside contemporary site-specific commissions.
The presentation situates these works within the broader visual and political landscape of the period, linking floral imagery to movements around peace, environmental awareness, and collective expression. Monumental installations, artist-designed structures, and historical material are interwoven throughout the garden, extending into live programming and evening events that draw on the era’s performance and visual culture.
