EXHIBITION

The Hunt Institute established this international exhibition series of
botanical art and illustration in 1964 with the hope of supporting and
encouraging contemporary botanical artists. Every three years, this series
features the works of talented botanical artists from around the world.
Organized from the 110 artworks in the 13th International (2010) that now
are part of the Institute’s collection, this travel version features artworks by
68 artists from 15 countries (Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, England, Italy,
Ireland, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Scotland, South Africa, South
Korea, Thailand and the United States).
Botanical art depicts plant portraits, both visually pleasing and botanically
accurate, that can be identified at least to genus, but preferably to species
as well. It may include part of or the entire life cycle of the plant, details,
cross-sections, root structures and even the plant’s habitat. The artwork
may be created for scientific studies, publications, gallery exhibitions or
other commercial applications, but each artist brings a personal aesthetic
sensibility to the subject. In many countries opportunities abound to study
drawing and painting techniques with skilled botanical artists in private
classes or those offered at botanical gardens and institutions, and now
many botanical gardens are offering certificates in botanical art. Botanical
societies flourish in Australia, Canada, England, Italy, Japan, South Africa
and the United States. As an example, the United States has two major
organizations—the American Society of Botanical Artists and the Guild
of Natural Science Illustrators—that apprise their members of workshops
and exhibition opportunities and offer a sense of community to botanical
artists. Florilegium societies are developing throughout the world and are
inviting the best artists to contribute works, not only for artistic merit but
also as a historical record, depicting plants in their respective gardens. Indeed
the intense activity described above confirms that we are experiencing a
renaissance of botanical art.
The Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation, a research division of
Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, specializes in the
history of botany and all aspects of plant science and serves the international
scientific community through research and documentation. To this end
the Institute acquires and maintains authoritative collections of books,
plant images, manuscripts, portraits and data files, and provides publications
and other modes of information service through its four departments:
Archives, Art, Bibliography and the Library. The current collections include
approximately 29,500 books; 30,000 portraits; 30,000 watercolors, drawings
and prints; and 2,000 autograph letters and manuscripts. Including artworks
dating from the Renaissance, the Art Department’s collection now focuses
on contemporary botanical art and illustration, where the coverage is
unmatched. A full-color, illustrated catalogue of the original 13th International
Exhibition of Botanical Art & Illustration (2010) is available. Please visit our Web
site (http://huntbot.andrew.cmu.edu) for more information about the Hunt
Institute and its programs or to purchase one of our publications.
