Collection of works of art representing sunflowers by Frans Van Mieris, Irma Kukhianidze, Ithell Colquhoun, Jan Bakowski, Jean-Pierre Alaux, Kira Panina, Ludmila Korol, Rafal Olbinski, Valeri Tsenov, Svetlana Kukueva and others.

Native to North America, sunflowers are one of the most recognizable flowers in the world. With its sturdy stalk, the massive sunflower can grow to over six feet tall.
