Prickly, Tender and Steamy presents artworks that were created at Wave Hill by artists during the Winter Workspace Program from 2010– 2013. It ties together the Arts and Horticulture programs at Wave Hill in an engaging way, as the selected artists are among those who closely examined the living collections in Wave Hill’s Conservatory (named after Marco Polo Stufano; Curator emeritus).The works selected for the exhibition are varied, and display a wide variety of mediums, and perspectives of the ever changing displays in the Tropical, Palm and Cactus and Succulent houses.
