Art In Bloom: Day 1

View fullsize

For the first time in a long time, the Cincinnati Art Museum put on Art In Bloom two years in a row instead of doing it every other year. I was hired to photograph every event during the four-day affair, beginning today.

Art In Bloom pairs custom floral arrangements designed by floral artists in the community with existing works in the museum’s collection. This year, the works were assigned to the artists instead of letting them choose their inspiration piece. My tasks today involved photographing every arrangement next to their piece, as well as a soiree at the end of the evening.

It’s really hard to choose which pairing I like best, so I’ve chosen to post one that stood out to me. M. Melissa Flohre put together this beautiful arrangement that perfectly mirrors the color palette and shape of the piece they were assigned.
