Flowers have been messengers of meaning throughout art history – whether as symbols of fertility or mortality, purity or sexuality, love or loss, or simply nothing more than a pile of petals. Through works by Alexander Calder, Lucian Freud, Robert Mapplethorpe, Gerhard Richter and Wolfgang Tillmans, Flowers focuses on the significance of this enduring subject in post-war and contemporary art and explores how the flower, a traditional and classically beautiful object, fits within a modern context.
