Inge Meijer, The Plant Collection (Stedelijk Museum)

Amsterdam, Roma Publications, 2019. Softcover, 21 x 30 cm, 112 pp. Text in English and Dutch. Artists' book and artistic research project about the fascinating (bygone) tradition of including plants in art exhibitions.

Investigation into the pairing of plants and artworks at the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam from 1945 to 1983, featuring an enormous number of archival installation pictures with text and drawings by the artist. The book was released in 2019, an immediate sell-out, and Meijer has since published a follow-up book on the plant collection at MoMA New York. Mint copy still in publisher's wrap.
