A Rose Is
FEBRUARY 27-JUNE 21, 2025
The FLAG Art Foundation is pleased to present A Rose Is, an expansive group exhibition centered on Cy Twombly’s The Rose III, 2008, which weaves together three monumental, dripping roses as well as text fragments from Rainer Maria Rilke’s “The Roses.” A conflation of painting and poetry, the Twombly becomes the jump off point for a group show that explores abstraction, poetics/language, and the iconography of the rose. Artists include Polly Apfelbaum, Louise Bourgeois, James Lee Byars, Pier Paolo Calzolari, Sara Cwynar, Alex Da Corte, Ethyl Eichelberger, Awol Erizku, Tony Feher, Arakawa & Madeline Gins, Allison Janae Hamilton, Sarah Jones, Anselm Kiefer, Lee Krasner, Dr. Lakra, Nicolas Party, Kay Rosen, James Rosenquist, Andy Warhol, among others.
FLAG would like to acknowledge the participating artists, artist estates, galleries, and private lenders for their generous loans of artworks to this exhibition.
