The Heirloom Tomato
An Exhibition of Photographs by Victor Schrager
Portraits of Historic Tomato Varieties from
the Gardens of Amy Goldman
August 12, 2008–August 30, 2009

The 34 glorious color portraits of heirloom tomatoes on exhibition--a sampling of the amazing 500 varieties grown every year in the garden of acclaimed food writer Amy Goldman--pay homage to the heirloom tomato and the talents of photographer Victor Schrager.
Shapes of Nature in the Summer Garden
Through September 2008
Spiked flax, fan-shaped palms, puffy vine seed pods, arrowhead caladiums, dozens of varieties of scalloped-leafed coleus, and more are lushly displayed in beds, on trellises and in formal terra-cotta containers flanking rectangular pools in the Seasonal Exhibition Galleries of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory. The show is a perfect indoor complement to the exhibition of Henry Moore sculpture on the Botanical Garden grounds, illustrating the artist’s belief that “the whole of Nature is an endless demonstration of shape and form.”
