Curator Elsa Smithgall introduces the exhibition Georgia O'Keeffe: Abstraction (February 6-May 9, 2010)


Although best known for her iconic representations of flowers, landscapes, and animal bones, Georgia OKeeffes abstract work is as bold and breathtaking as that of her European contemporaries Picasso, Matisse, and Kandinsky. See an American legend in a whole new light in this exhibition of over 100 paintings, drawings, and watercolors.

In conjunction with Georgia O'Keeffe: Abstraction, co-organized by The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, and the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe.

Teach with O'Keeffe: Museum School Initiative
Teach with O’Keeffe began as a collaboration with teachers who used Georgia O’Keeffe’s art and life as catalysts to learning in language arts, science, social studies, and the performing and visual arts in connection with the traveling exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe: Abstraction. Phillips educators developed this museum-based, national model with colleagues at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. Participating schools included the Capitol Hill Cluster School, West Side Collaborative Middle School, and Turquoise Trail Elementary School.
