Georgia O’Keeffe and the Women of the Stieglitz Circle
May 24–September 28, 2008
This display of approximately 80 artworks features paintings, drawings, and photographs by iconic artist Georgia O’Keeffe and the important female Modernists who paved the way for her. The women represented in the exhibition, including Gertrude Käsebier, Pamela Colman Smith, Anne Brigman, and Katharine Rhoades, were all, at one point, reigning artists in the circle of the famous photographer, Alfred Steiglitz. This exhibition, which is co-organized by the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum and the High Museum of Art, is the first to bring works by all these pioneering female artists together in the same context, adding to the knowledge and appreciation of the art of Georgia O’Keeffe and the development of American Modernism.
