Cecil Beaton’s Garden Party at the Garden Museum is the first exhibition to dive into the passion that the photographer and artist had for gardens and flowers, and the inspiration they provided for his work. Looking at his gardens at both Ashcombe House and Reddish House, the exhibition will showcase the role that flowers had in his creative practice, including floral installations for parties; painted and fresh flowers used as backdrops for fashion photography and royal portraits; and floral costumes created for Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady and in designs made for the Royal Ballet. A range of paintings, photographs, letters, drawings, costume sketches, and diaries will be on show, many of which have never been publicly displayed before.
