Plants in Contemporary Art

This dataset provides an overview of contemporary art exhibitions, projects, and events where plants play a significant role, either as the central theme or as part of broader environmental topics. It includes some examples starting from the 1970s but primarily focuses on the 2000s. The lists are not exhaustive and concentrate on Western art and art institutions. Source: The primary sources include publicly available information from museum and gallery websites, exhibition catalogs, and online archives of art institutions.
