Faux flowers have been with us for centuries. Meissen porcelain flowers sprout out of Meissen vases, and blossoms from the Vincennes manufactory delightfully decorate bronze chandeliers and objets. The blown-glass flowers of the Czech artists Leopold and Rudolf Blaschka, long on view at Harvard’s Museum of Natural History, are so dewy and botanically correct you’d be forgiven for thinking them alive. The two forms meet in the porcelain flowers of the Ukraine-born artist Vladimir Kanevsky, whose work is both beautiful and botanically precise. As part of the celebratory reopening of the Frick, Kanevsky has created 19 porcelain sculptures that will be located throughout the museum—lilies of the valley, cherry blossoms, a lemon tree, cascading white roses. He took inspiration from the curated floral arrangements that graced the galleries during the Frick’s original debut. What a splendid way to honor the museum’s reblossoming. —Laura Jacobs
