A Garden of Flowers / Ein Garten voller Blumen (Pre-order)

This exhibition catalogue documents a dialogue between two exceptional talents: contemporary glass artist Lilla Tabasso draws inspiration from the botanical work ‘Hortus Floridus’ (1614) by Dutch engraver Crispijn de Passe the Younger (1594–1670) and creates a garden full of glass flowers. Tabasso translates De Passe’s detailed copperplate engravings into hyper-realistic, vibrant sculptural flowers made of Murano glass, illuminating the artistic bridge between nature, biology, and attention to detail. Two essays and an interview with the artist explain the background and connections behind the works, inviting readers to reconsider and better understand floral aesthetics.
