Four Freedoms Park Conservancy is thrilled to announce our upcoming event:
FLOWER MARKET by Cj Hendry. Known for creating art on a grand scale, Cjs
latest extraordinary exhibit is no different and features a 120-foot by
40-foot greenhouse built on the lawn of the FDR Four Freedoms State Park on
Roosevelt Island. The greenhouse will be filled with 100,000 meticulously
crafted plush flowers inspired by the Roosevelts and in celebration of the
United Nations General Assembly.

A VIP preview was held last night. Among the guests taking home a bouquet
was Martha Stewart.

Take a look inside the Cj Hendry’s Flower Market exhibit at the FDR 4
Freedoms Park

and visit the Flower Market greenhouse the weekend for your plush flower.
(Was just advised that registrations are now full – Sorry)

Why a custom greenhouse and why Roosevelt Island for the Flower Market?

Cj Hendry explains:

To be able to execute the concept to its fullest, we had to attack
everything with a sense of scale. We looked at a little flower shop in
the city and at other locations but it didn’t seem quite right, so we
really worked hard to make sure that we were able to get the
greenhouse in the most extraordinary location that we could. Its
really exciting to take something like a greenhouse and place it in
the middle of New York City where it has no right to be.

Roosevelt Island is iconic in so many ways. Franklin D Roosevelt Four
Freedoms Park, in my opinion, is an architectural marvel. The fact
that it’s between Brooklyn and Manhattan on its own island within New
York, I just love it. Also, FDR Four Freedoms Park on Roosevelt Island
doesn’t do too many collaborations. They don’t allow too many people
onto the island to do exhibitions like this, so its an incredible
privilege weve been granted. I’m so grateful they’re on board with me
as an artist and Cl de Peau Beaut as a brand.

More info on Cj Hendry’s Flower Market exhibit from this press release:

Cj is thrilled to announce her upcoming exhibition
Flower Market, a
stunning new collaboration with global luxury beauty brand
Cl de Peau Beaut
and in partnership with
Four Freedoms Park Conservancy.
Known for creating art on a grand scale, Cjs latest extraordinary
exhibit is no different and features a 120-foot by 40-foot greenhouse
built on the lawn of the FDR Four Freedoms State Park on Roosevelt
Island. The greenhouse will be filled with 100,000 meticulously crafted
plush flowers inspired by the natural radiance and botanicals used in
Cl de Peau Beaut products.

One significant botanical that inspired Cj was the Radiant Lily found
in Cl de Peau Beauts The Serum, an iconic skincare product beloved
by Cj. The meticulous craftsmanship in CPBs products really
resonates with me and mirrors my own process says Cj. The plush
Lilies will be on display, alongside Cjs 12 original drawings created
for this exhibition. Among the other flowers on display are a bouquet
inspired by the Roosevelt family; the yellow Eleanor Roosevelt Rose,
Tulips for the Roosevelt family’s Dutch heritage, red Roses
symbolizing the “Roosevelt” name (field of roses), and Peonies, the
signature flower of the Roosevelt farm.

When the architect Louis Kahn designed this memorial, he said, The
garden is somehow a personal kind of control of nature. A lot of my
work, and in this exhibition especially, is about manipulating my
environments and building a space that takes participants out of their
ordinary. I hope Flower Market inspires joy and beauty well after the
greenhouse is empty, every time we see flowers – plush or otherwise.-

immediately excited to work with such an exceptional contemporary artist
as Cj Hendry and help share her magical work with tens of thousands of

through her eyes!”
