The Jewish Museum’s exhibition series bringing site-specific works of art to the Museum’s main lobby continues this fall with artist Willem de Rooij’s Bouquet XI (2014), a monumental floral sculpture. Born in Holland and based in Berlin, de Rooij is collaborating with floral designer Bella Meyer, granddaughter of Marc Chagall, to realize Bouquet XI’s composition. The species of flowers, all native to the Middle East region, as well as the composition are carefully researched and brought together, so that every stem provokes physical effect as equally as conceptual meaning.
