Unfortunately, the exhibition "Bonsai Art Hamburg" cannot take place in 2020 due to the Corona crisis. Instead, on these pages you will find a video exhibition of the planned exhibits as well as demonstrations by numerous international bonsai artists.

Parts 1 - 4. Gets in close!

Thanks for the link Mel. A lot of very impressive trees there. Good to see a lot of deciduous trees, not just pines and junipers.

Awesome relaxing videos with great trees. It's nice to get some real up close shots, right up in and under the canopies etc. Very cool 🤓

Thanks Mel, for putting this up.
What I found particularly interesting was the importance placed on the container. Just about every tree shown (I’ve only seen the first part) also emphasised the pot and the origin of each pot was very telling.
Of the 17 trees in the first part I counted 14 European pots, 2 Brits and 1 lone Japanese pot.

Cheers Frank, Juan and Pat.

Pat I have noticed that the European exhibitions do tend to give equal billing to the potters, which has got to be a good thing in the long run. So many beautiful containers as anonymous would be frustrating to many viewers, wanting to know who made them, but not being informed. Makes a lot of sense! It also creates interest for the potters, and gives them exposure they may otherwise not have had. I can see it would be a good thing to add to our Australian exhibitions in the future.
