- Summary:
- The MoMA Plant Collection' displays the tradition of including plant life in the Museum of Modern Art NY. The book presents 340 photographs and drawings that pay tribute to the pairing of plants with art. What can the placement of greenery next to the works of Mark Rothko, Henri Matisse, and many others tell us about the relationship between culture and nature? A question that Meijer started to investigate in her first artist's book, 'The Plant Collection' (ROMA, 2019), on plants in the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam, and continues at this museum in New York.
