Experience Georgia O’Keeffe: “My New Yorks,” an exhibition that examines O’Keeffe’s paintings, drawings, and pastels of the urban landscape of New York City. Famed for her images of flowers and Southwestern landscapes, O’Keeffe spent several years of her prolific career exploring the city’s built environment with brush in hand. She moved to the newly built Shelton Hotel in 1924, then the tallest residential skyscraper in the world, and its soaring heights inspired a five-year period of energetic experimentation. Her street-level compositions capture the city’s monumental skyscrapers from below and suspended views looking down from her thirtieth-floor apartment. She called these works her “New Yorks” and through them investigated the dynamic potential of New York’s cityscape. Learn more about this special exhibition.
