Flowers embody a motif that has been widespread in art for centuries. An expression of natural beauty and earthly transience since the Baroque era, flowers have not lost their fascination for artists in the 20th and 21st centuries. Why does modern and contemporary art take up this multifaceted motif so intensely? Flowers are symbols for love and life as well as for perishing or destruction. Over 120 works in a wide variety of media, such as painting, photography, video and installation, show the change in meaning and topicality of the motif: from dealing with color and form to socio-political and gender-specific issues to thinking about being, the environment or new technologies. The richly illustrated catalog also offers an art historical review, essays on the political dimension and on everyday culture in dealing with flowers. Artists: Anita Albus | Max Beckmann | Renate Bertlmann | Joseph Beuys | Felix Dobbert | Quynh Dong | Max Ernst | Hans-Peter Feldmann | Fischli / Weiss | Hannah Hh | David Hockney | Alexej von Jawlensky | Judith Kaminski | Peco Kawashima | Ernst Ludwig Kirchner | Robert Mapplethorpe | Ana Mendieta | Claire Morgan | Gabriele Munter | Heinrich Nauen | Emil Nolde | Meret Oppenheim | Regis Perray | Otto Piene | Odilon Redon | Gerhard Richter | Pipilotti Rist | Christian Rohlfs | Dieter Roth | Ulrike Rosenbach | Martha Rosler | Hito Steyerl | Anais Tondeur | Timm Ulrichs | Suzanne Valadon | Andy Warhol | Annette Wehrmann et al
