This artwork is an addition to the Podio del Mondo per l’Arte, consisting of two marble stones between which a bouquet of flowers lie drying. This work is a poetical contribution to the Podio del Mondo per l'Arte (1979) by Marinus Boezem. Pressed Flowers is not only about love, but also responds to the time in which most of the previous additions to the Podio were made – a time in which male artistry dominated.

In 1976, conceptual artist Marinus Boezem, took over the former ‘Graanbeurs’, at the Damplein in Middelburg and made it into an international platform for conceptual art: Podio del Mondo per l’Arte. Over the course of the past years, he has asked several conceptual artists to contribute a stone to this platform.
