Georgia O'Keeffe

Georgia O'Keeffe Synopsis

Through a series of newly-commissioned conversations by renowned artists, writers, and scholars, and produced in collaboration with the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, In New Light offers new entry points into the iconic American modernist.

An extremely well-known painter and cultural figure, O'Keeffe's persona and biography have remained as much a part of her story as her innovations within and contributions to modernist painting.

What are the questions that need to be asked (and critiques to be raised and considered) about her work and legacy today?

Included is a fully illustrated summary of O'Keeffe's work - from very early pieces to her latest paintings, with both significant masterworks as well as less-known pieces. Photographs of the artist, her residence in Abiquiú, and other objects and ephemera in the Museum's collection appear throughout this chronological plate section.

In addition to the O'Keeffe Museum, the artist's work is held in countless major public collections, including the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Dallas; Art Institute of Chicago; Brooklyn Museum; Cleveland Museum of Art; Milwaukee Art Museum; National Gallery of Art, Washington; and The White House, Washington.
