When Warhol had his first solo exhibition at the prestigious Leo Castelli Gallery in New York in November 1964 it consisted entirely of Flowers. Best known for his vibrant pop imagery and searing commentary on art and popular culture, Warhol\u2019s flower imagery reveals a softer, more intimate side of the artist. In retrospect, it is also a provocative series, appropriating a powerful symbol later identified with flower-power counterculture of the 1960s, the age of peace, love, and anti-war protest. The <em>Flowers<\/em> are the only subject that Warhol revisited throughout his entire career and in almost every medium. The artist\u2019s floral imagery is among the quietest, most beautiful, and least studied. The Cheekwood exhibition is a rare occasion when Warhol\u2019s artificial flower images meet the floral abundance of an actual garden.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/lX3BrVFvsoI\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cheekwood 1200 Forrest Park Drive Nashville, TN 37205 (615) 356-8000 info@cheekwood.org &nbsp; &nbsp; Andy Warhol&#8217;s Flowers June 14 \u2013 Sept 7, 2014 Fifty years ago, during the summer of 1964, Andy Warhol began working on silkscreen paintings of flowers, a subject that would preoccupy him for the rest of his life.
