Flowers in all their forms take centre stage in the exhibition The Gorgeous Nothings: Flowers at Chatsworth. Curated by Allegra Pesenti the exhibition is inspired by the estate itself, from the rare botanical volumes and illustrated manuscripts in the library to its garden and grounds. The Gorgeous Nothings builds on the work of an important lineage of landscape designers, gardeners, scientists and botanists at Chatsworth over the past six centuries. The thematic display features contemporary and historic artworks and objects from the Devonshire Collections, supported by key loans and a new site-specific commission.
The varied artworks include flowers cast in concrete by artist Alessandro Piangiamore from the series Ieri Ikebana.
