Valentines Flower Power in Berlin
by Peter CulshawSaturday, February 13, 2010
Eliska Bartek is one of the leading photographers of flowers, among other subjects. She also experiments with painting and video and mixes her media. Her first solo exhibition at Photo Edition Berlin opened today and shows new photographic works and will also celebrate the publication of her new book Flower Power.

As the Gallery puts it, "Flowers are prominent in the works of Irving Penn, Robert Mapplethorpe, Nobuyoshi Araki, Peter Fischli/David Weiss, or Thomas Florschuetz and often stand for the limits of visible perception, notions of beauty and the ephemeral. Eliska Bartek continues and expands this tradition, producing breathtaking images with her own signature of light, form and colour."

The Gallery also has a nice tradition of dinner with the artist, with an introduction to her work. This will be on 13 March at 8pm. There will, they promise, be a menu with Swiss and Czech specialities. A donation of 25 Euro includes drinks and places are limited. Reservations: contact@photo-edition-berlin.com
