Georgia O’Keeffe Museum

From New York to New Mexico: Masterworks of American Modernism from the Vilcek Foundation Collection

September 25, 2015 through January 10, 2016

American art experienced radical change a century ago, as a group of innovative, highly-individualistic artists broke with past traditions to define a new art for this country, an art that expressed the energy, vitality, and singular identity of modern America. The artists who led that change are highlighted in this exhibition, featuring more than 60 masterworks from the 1910s to the post-War era by America’s most original abstract painters, including Georgia O’Keeffe, Marsden Hartley, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, and a dozen others.

O’Keeffe in Process

September 11, 2015 through January 17, 2016

O’Keeffe in Process tells the story of the artist’s working technique. Preliminary sketches and photographs are shown alongside finished works to demonstrate the steps, the thinking, and the technical art-making process. The 50 paintings, drawings and support materials span the artist’s career from early portraits of family members, to paintings executed during stays at Lake George, to her iconic depictions of New Mexico, to her discovery of the view from the sky. The exhibition examines what makes an O’Keeffe artwork recognizable as an O’Keeffe and illuminates some of the ways that the artist approached her compositions.
