Georgia O'Keeffe, Illuminated

May 25, 2007 - September 09, 2007

This exhibition includes 27 photographs of Georgia O'Keeffe made in 1960 by photographer Tony Vacarro. That year, Vaccaro and journalist Charlotte Willard traveled to Abiquiu, New Mexico to photograph and interview O'Keeffe for the article published in Look Magazine on September 27, 1960: "Women of American Art: Their Work May Yet Equal the Best of America's Male Artists." During the visit, Vaccaro made an extensive series of photographs of O'Keeffe that are unusual in that they capture her enjoying some of her favorite activities, such as gardening, playing with her dogs, and listening to music.

This exhibition and related programs were made possible in part by support from The Burnett Foundation, The Annenberg Foundation, the City of Santa Fe Arts Commission 1% Lodgers Tax, the New Mexico Department of Tourism, New Mexico Arts (a division of the Department of Cultural Affairs), and the Members of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum.
