In the 1930s, Georgia O’Keeffe took her first international trip. A consummate traveler, she would continue exploring until 1983, when she went to Costa Rica at the age of 96. Over her lifetime, O’Keeffe visited more than 49 countries across nearly every continent.

In this talk, we will explore the international travels of Georgia O’Keeffe through the souvenirs she collected during her many adventures that are featured in the current exhibition, Around the World with O’Keeffe. You’ll gain insight into the myriad ways travel influenced her home design and sense of style. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to delve into the world of Georgia O’Keeffe!

An amorphous blob of flowing blue, green, and red paint occupies the center of the paper. Patches of yellow dot the image. The form resembles a dark, colorful cloud, and contrasts with the plain white paper framing it.

Large pinkish/orange shell that dominates most of the canvas, with a much smaller shell beside it on the lower left. Both are oval in shape and open to their undersides, exposing the dark glossy pink of the inside of a shell. They are nestled on a white cloth or tissue paper that has folds suggesting a depth, as if the objects are in a box. The larger shell is chipped on it's upper left tip.
