Blooming Art at San Francisco’s de Young Museum

San Francisco’s de Young museum hosted a weeklong floral exhibition, Bouquets to Art in March. More than 100 preeminent florists from across the globe- including those of the Royal Ballet, the White House and Queen Sofia Spanish Institute brought their artistic interpretation of the museum’s collections to life.

Each florist fashioned a response piece to the works that fill de Young. Blooming throughout the galleries, the living art presented a conversation between art and nature. The exhibit even looked ahead to April when The Summer of Love Experience: Art, Fashion and Rock & Roll will arrive.

Over the course of 32 years, Bouquets to Art has raised more than $6 million towards special exhibitions, conservation projects and education programs for the San Francisco Auxiliary of the Fine Arts Museums. The San Francisco Auxiliary will be a Presenting Sponsor of Monet: The Early Years which is now on view at the Legion of Honor.
