On February 19, 2011 from 2-4 pm, Through the Flower is opening a retrospective of Shirley Klinghoffer's career titled SHIRLEY KLINGHOFFER: Secret Garden, Fertile Ground, curated by Laura Addison, Curator of Contemporary Arts at the New Mexico Museum of Art in Santa Fe.

Shirley Klinghoffer uses sculpture as a vehicle not only to celebrate diversity but to censure inequities. Hers is an approach that insists that art open the gate of the secret garden and reveal the beauty and the beast within. For, as we know from Eden, even the most well-kept garden has its serpents.
- Laura Addison

Shirley was the winner of Through the Flower's juried exhibition Subversive Stitching: Feminist Artists with a Needle. The new exhibition will be up through the end of May at Through the Flower's headquarters in Belen.
