Exhibition Opening Reception: Daffodils Baptized In Butter

The Arts Club is proud to announce Daffodils Baptized In Butter, an exhibition of works by more than 25 artists exploring the countless symbolic, mystical and art historical meaning of flowers, while underscoring their prevalence in contemporary practice. Curated by Amelie von Wedel and Pernilla Holmes of Wedel Art, this will be The Arts Club’s first exhibition to be displayed across multiple floors of the Club – ground floor, grand staircase and first floor – thus representing the largest group show in the Club’s 160-year history.

Named after the work ‘Daffodils Baptized In Butter’ (pictured) from American poet and performance artist, John Giorno, which features in the show, the art curation defies the notion that flowers are merely pretty – those examined in the exhibition are in turns tough, stubborn, dried, dying, magnificent, elegiac and profound in their beauty.

Join us on the evening of Wednesday, September 25th, for an exclusive first look at the multi-floor exhibition. As with most of our exhibitions, there will be a few art pieces available for purchase, please ask a member of the team for more information on this.
