Three Tulips, 1990
Peggy Gruen
(American, born 1944)
Location: Washington State Arts Commission, Olympia
ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Three Tulips is part of artist Peggy Gruen's series of ten photographs. These artworks combine vibrantly colored images of natural objects with a digital, abstract background. She chose each object based on its bold shapes and unique form.
Peggy Gruen created this series for Multiples: The Sciences and Art (1991), an exhibition of ten micro-collections commissioned to tour Washington State school districts. The micro-collections offer different perspectives of ten artists exploring ideas and issues related to science, and ask students to re-consider assumed and widely accepted aspects of science.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Multiples: The Sciences and Art Collection.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
