Scenes of New York City: The Elie and Sarah Hirschfeld Collection features selections from a promised gift of paintings, watercolors, prints, and drawings to the New-York Historical Society. The Hirschfelds are prominent philanthropists and art collectors who have been dedicated to collecting art that portrays New York City and the people who make it unique. The exhibition is a visual love letter to New York, depicting vivid snapshots of the City’s most beloved icons — its buildings, bridges, skyscrapers, parks, landmarks, and people — by nationally and internationally prominent artists. It includes a catalogue with scholarly entries on each work. This exhibition has been organized by The New-York Historical Society.

Flora Imaginaria: The Flower in Contemporary Photography celebrates the beauty and biodiversity of flowers in 71 photographs by 49 internationally acclaimed artists. This spectacular bouquet of floral imagery will be on display in the Sculpture Garden, providing a unique experience with art in the context of nature. Flower photography remains in full bloom today as contemporary photographers continue the storied tradition of depicting floral motifs in novel ways. Flora Imaginaria features images shot over the last 30 years and is an ode to this historically important photographic subject. This exhibition is co-organized by the Foundation for the Exhibition of Photography, Minneapolis/Paris/Lausanne, and the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens, Sarasota, FL, in association with The Society of the Four Arts.
