A GARDEN OF FLOWERS
Lilla Tabasso & Crispijn de Passe
We have invited the Milanese artist Lilla Tabasso (b. 1973) to approach the important botanical work Hortus Floridus by the Dutch engraver Crispijn de Passe the Younger (1594–1670) and translate it into her personal artistic language. She takes his detailed and finely elaborated depictions of plants as a starting point and transforms the black-and-white copperplate engravings into sensual, three-dimensional, and surprisingly hyperrealistic glass sculptures made of Murano glass.
The showcase exhibition in the study hall thus presents a cross-epochal dialogue between two artistic positions, each of which offers an extraordinary view of the floral beauties and builds a bridge between past and present.
