Artists have always been captivated by the colour, beauty and exoticism of flowers. Their fragility is a reminder to seize the day, whilst their rich sensory appeal jolts us into the present moment. In many cultures, they've become a fertile metaphor for life's milestones whether joyful or sad. Bloom explores the way art, flowers and emotion entwine, featuring over one hundred works from artists including Tracey Emin, David Hockney, Winifred Nicholson and Andy Warhol. Taking you on a surprising journey through love, sex, death and everything in between -- Bloom shows that there's a lot more to flowers than simply looking pretty.
