Party in the city and celebrate the High’s newest exhibition, Georgia O’Keeffe: “My New Yorks.”
In the 1920s and 1930s, Georgia O’Keeffe lived and worked in New York City making paintings of the city’s streets, skyscrapers, and skylines from her room in the Shelton Hotel, then the tallest residential building in the world. The urban environment and the art world were rapidly changing, and O’Keeffe captured the fluctuating city using both realism and abstraction. Once she began traveling to the Southwest, she combined motifs from New Mexico with the verticality of New York.
In this spirit of mixing and matching, we are celebrating O’Keeffe’s creative experiments by pairing artworks from the exhibition with wines that embody the pleasures and paradoxes of her practice.
