Description

The Georgia O'Keeffe museum, inaugurated in July 1997, contains the largest collection of O'Keeffes in the world: currently 117 oil paintings, drawings, watercolors, and pastels, and more than 50 works by other artists of note. It's the largest museum in the United States dedicated solely to one woman's work. You can see such remarkable O'Keeffes as Jimson Weed, painted in 1932, and Evening Star No. VII, from 1917. The rich and varied collection adorns the walls of a cathedral-like, 13,000-square-foot space -- a former Baptist church with adobe walls. O'Keeffe's images are tied inextricably to local desert landscapes. She first visited New Mexico in 1917 and returned for extended periods from the [?]20s through the ?40s.
