ARTstor is partnering with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum to share approximately 1,200 images of works by Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986). The images will include all of the museum’s works by O’Keeffe — paintings, drawings, and sculpture dating from 1901 to 1984. The collection in ARTstor will present the entire range of O’Keeffe’s oeuvre, from her early experiments with abstraction to mature works. Subjects range from the artist’s iconic flowers and bleached desert skulls to nudes, landscapes, cityscapes, still lifes, as well as her highly innovative abstractions.
For more detailed information about this collection, visit the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum collection page.
