This event has ended.

Known for its overwhelming presence in pre Renaissance and Renaissance works, the springtime garden has been a reoccurring theme throughout art history and mythology. Contradictory to those botanicals and allegorical figures that then interpreted the basic
mysteries of life, fertility, and sexuality, select works in The Garden candidly bring forth the uncoated truth of the birds and the bees. Other pieces depict the inhabitants of a garden, or reference traditional, figurative characters and deities in a subversive and provocative
matter. The Garden is simply about sex, love, fertility, rebirth, fresh air, blooming landscape, uninhibited mentalities, and the end of a frigid winter; and paints the picture of a carefree couple making love on a springtime afternoon in the middle of a garden.
