Cj Hendry opened her first permanent Flower Shop at 172 Prince Street in SoHo on November 10, 2025, transforming a project known for temporary, crowd-drawing installations into a lasting New York storefront. The space presents the Australian artist's plush flowers as both collectible sculpture and flexible retail display, with visitors invited to select individual blooms and assemble bouquets from a changing inventory.

What to Know
The Shop Is a Permanent SoHo Address
Unlike Hendry's earlier limited-run Flower Market installations, the Prince Street location was conceived as a continuing operation. Its opening established a stable home for the artist's soft-sculpture flowers and a new public-facing extension of her studio practice.
Each Flower Is Sold Individually
The shop lists plush flowers at $10 each, allowing visitors to build bouquets one bloom at a time. The straightforward price and open display preserve the accessibility that helped make the temporary markets unusually participatory art events.
The Inventory Is Designed to Change
The initial assortment draws from Hendry's expanding botanical collection, while new flower releases were scheduled to begin in December 2025. That rotation allows the installation to evolve rather than remain a fixed recreation of an earlier market.
Retail Is Part of the Artwork
Dense rows of saturated color, tactile materials, and bouquet-building turn the act of shopping into the central experience. The project sits between sculpture, installation, merchandising, and public event, categories Hendry has repeatedly combined in her large-scale presentations.
Current Hours Should Be Confirmed
The shop opened with daily hours reported as 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Operating details and flower availability may change, particularly around new releases; visitors should consult Cj Hendry's official channels before traveling.
