The exhibition showed works by artists and designers who address the relationship between nature, science and art in the present. The exhibition title " Art Forms of Nature " was based on the title of a collection of lithographs that the German zoologist and draftsman Ernst Haeckel published successively from 1899 to 1904. To this day, they are considered milestones in the history of naturalistic illustration and in their review history they reflect the tension between art and science.

Stops on the course were the Electoral Palace , the Rhine facilities , the Kaiser Wilhelm I monument at the Deutsches Eck and the Ehrenbreitstein Fortress. The participating artists and designers were Atsara (Audrey Rocher and Roland Devocelle), Dominik Busch, Casa Magica (Friedrich Förster and Sabine Weißinger), Catherine Chalmers, Scott Draves, Detlef Hartung and Georg Trenz, Norimichi Hirakawa, Loop.ph, Retouramont and Edwin van der Heide.

The organizer was the Federal Horticultural Show Koblenz 2011.
