Yu-Wen Wu: Reigning Beauty

Viewable on the Gardner Museum’s Anne H. Fitzpatrick Façade June 17 - October 14, 2025

This summer, violets, nasturtiums, and hydrangeas escape from the Gardner’s greenhouses and rain down the Anne H. Fitzpatrick Façade in a site-specific installation by Artist-in-Residence Yu-Wen Wu. Inspired by Isabella's passion for plants and the loving care given to our “Living Collection” by the Museum’s horticulture team, Wu composed a collage of photographs of the Gardner’s flowers, transforming individual blossoms into a windswept shower blooming bright against dark storm clouds.

Our collection of museum-exclusive gifts features this unforgettable façade installation!
