Curated by Anthony Vaccarello, creative director of Yves Saint Laurent, this solo exhibition features a re-creation of the karesansui (dry Zen garden) of Ryōanji Temple in Kyoto.

Miya Ando: Flower Atlas at Brookfield Place, New York

Gallery artist Miya Ando has been awarded the 2023 Brookfield Place New York Annual Arts Commission. The site-specific commission, titled Flower Atlas, premiered at the Winter Garden in Brookfield Place in lower Manhattan, in July 2023. Ando reimagined the year 2023 not in days but in flowers, depicting the seventy-two seasons of the nature-based ancient Japanese system of time-telling. The installation came to life through seventy-two chiffon banners suspended in the Winter Garden.
