It is an exciting time at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. New projects and collaborations give us opportunities to preserve and advance O’Keeffe’s artistic legacy in fresh ways with growing audiences. Georgia O’Keeffe was a pioneer in the art world and strived for excellence throughout her creative life. This same spirit thrives throughout our organization, both in Santa Fe and in Abiquiú, New Mexico. We are proud to announce that Dale Kronkright, Head of Conservation, in partnership with the Northwestern University–Art Institute of Chicago Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts, begins a groundbreaking project based on three-dimensional imaging to address preservation of O’Keeffe’s paintings. This collaboration, which received a $349,988 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, will guide our own conservation efforts in this area and inform conservation work around the world. Fresh perspective is also evident in the arrival of new staff in several departments. We welcome Liz Neely, Curator of Digital Experience; Katrina Stacy, Curator of Education and Interpretation; and Giustina Renzoni, Historic Site Manager. We are thrilled to have them join us to help engage visitors with innovative experiences. The much-anticipated O’Keeffe Welcome Center will have its grand opening on May 19, 2018 in Abiquiú. We hope you can join us from 11 AM to 4 PM to celebrate with live entertainment, food, and more. The new Center will provide an orientation experience for guests to the Home and Studio in Abiquiú and a gateway for visitors to find other opportunities to engage with the region’s rich landscape and cultural resources. All of this is made possible by you, our members. Please “take time to look” in the Museum galleries this season, and consider a trip to Abiquiú to see the Welcome Center and explore the Home and Studio. On behalf of everyone at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, thank you for your continued generosity and enthusiasm.

FOR THE LOVE OF ART, IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE This spring, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum’s conservation department will partner with scientists from the Northwestern University–Art Institute of Chicago Center for Scientific Studies in the Arts (NU-ACCESS) in a groundbreaking project of conservation and engineering, supported by an award of $349,988 from the National Endowment for the Humanities. NU-ACCESS received this significant grant to advance scientific imaging and other technologies to protect paintings that are vulnerable to deterioration caused by chemical changes in the materials of which they are made. Specifically, this collaborative endeavor will develop three-dimensional imaging technology that will assess the growth of destructive soaps in Georgia O’Keeffe’s oil paintings. It is an undertaking with global impact. Soaps are the result of combining an alkaline substance with a fat. In the case of the study’s subjects, soaps form when the fats in oil paints react with alkaline materials, such as pigments and drying agents. Soaps can cause discolorations and deformities, such as the tiny blisters or micro-protrusions visible on the painted surfaces of several affected O’Keeffe paintings. The need to develop an accurate yet noninvasive monitoring tool is immense—soap damage affects approximately 70% of paintings in all museum collections. Three-dimensional imaging will permit researchers to examine affected works on a microscopic level, and record data about the soaps’ development—without physically altering the paintings. The two-year project builds on the Museum’s earlier research. “We first began using 3-D imaging to monitor the preservation of Georgia O’Keeffe’s paintings and pastels in 2011,” says Dale Kronkright, Head of Conservation. “By 2014, we felt that the automated detection of metal-soap micro-protrusions on the surfaces of paintings would be possible using a 3-D image-feature–recognition algorithm.” Essentially, the team will program the 3-D imaging to recognize the soap bumps—no touching of the paintings will be necessary. “I proposed this idea to Marc Walton, Senior Scientist at NUACCESS, and he assembled a team of scientists and imaging engineers to conduct a feasibility study the following year.” The results were encouraging. Says Kronkright, “This award by the National Endowment for the Humanities propels the development of those first trials into a mature set of new scientific tools for the conservation community.” The new phase will produce results to guide decisions for how to preserve O’Keeffe’s work. They will also produce a set of web-based image-processing tools, and promote exchanges of related research among conservators around the world. This creative, necessary process will continue and further O’Keeffe’s impact as an innovator in the art world.

Lake George Gallery, 2017. © Georgia O’Keeffe Museum

GEORGIA O’KEEFFE’S LAKE GEORGE Georgia O’Keeffe Museum favorites are back on view in the galleries after being part of international touring exhibitions. Between July 2016 and October 2017, 1.5 million museumgoers in Alfred Stieglitz. Georgia O’Keeffe at Lake George, Europe, Australia, ca. 1930. Platinum/palladium print. Georgia O’Keeffe and Canada Museum. Gift of The Georgia O’Keeffe Foundation. [2003-6-716] enjoyed paintings from the Museum’s collection. Such loans are of special significance in reaching new audiences in areas whose own museum collections include no works by O’Keeffe, and allow us to expand our mission of inspiring current generations with O’Keeffe’s legacy beyond Santa Fe. Currently, two galleries focus on the reunion of Lake George paintings that visualize the story of Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz’s summers on his family’s estate on Lake George, in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York.

O’K EEF F E

S P R I N G 2 O1 8

The Lake George estate comprised a number of buildings on 36 acres. O’Keeffe and Stieglitz each selected a studio space, and, devoted to their work, retreated daily to their spaces to continue their individual practice. It comes as no surprise that the 1920s were O’Keeffe’s most prolific decade, when she experimented with new techniques that led to the signature modernist style visible in the artworks she created in New Mexico from 1929 on. Museum visitors can study O’Keeffe’s emerging techniques in two artworks now in our galleries: Autumn Trees – The Maple, returned from showings at the Tate Modern, London; the Bank Austria Kunstforum, Vienna; and the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto—and, on the adjacent wall, Purple Petunia, No. 2, just back from a tour of Australia on which it made stops at the Heide Museum of Modern Art, Melbourne; the Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane; and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney. Both works demonstrate O’Keeffe’s passion for the natural world within the microcosm of Lake George. Autumn Trees – The Maple (1924) evinces the influence of photographic techniques O’Keeffe admired in the work of Stieglitz and Paul Strand. As if through a camera’s viewfinder, O’Keeffe deliberately employs cropping to focus on the simplified tree form. The tree’s limbs extend beyond the canvas on three of the painting’s sides, carrying our gaze outward, while the use of color and the clockwise direction of the lines pull our vision back toward the center. By now, O’Keeffe has transitioned from being a watercolorist to a committed oil painter, with a firm command of the brush. Interestingly,

although the painting’s subject is identifiable by the title and shape, the character of the overall work is abstract—the smooth, sharp lines of the tree’s trunk and limbs float in a cloudy background. Our familiar tree stands rootless against an unidentifiable backdrop. Petunia No. 2 (1924) is an early example of O’Keeffe’s large floral paintings. In the center are splayed the petals of a grandiflora petunia, magnified across the painting’s 30-inch width. O’Keeffe’s careful trimming and shaping of the bristles of her extensive brush collection allowed her to create the meticulously defined shapes in this painting. Closer inspection reveals spaces between the colors that heighten each color’s vibrancy. The pink petals, darkest at their edges, defy the surrounding white and greens with the thinnest sliver of negative space between the hues. Petunia No. 2 was one of 30 O’Keeffe paintings in Stieglitz’s Seven Americans exhibition of 1925—she was the only woman represented in that group show, her work hung alongside that of Demuth, Dove, Hartley, Marin, Stieglitz, and Strand. The following year, O’Keeffe received her first solo exhibition, at the Intimate Gallery. Before 2006, the significance of O’Keeffe’s Lake George oeuvre was underestimated. Thanks to Erin Coe’s scholarship on O’Keeffe’s correspondence conducted for the 2013 exhibition Modern Nature: Georgia O’Keeffe and Lake George, the substantial impact of these years on O’Keeffe’s life and career has gained clarity. Previously, assumptions about O’Keeffe’s life dominated biographies and interpretations of her work. In interviews, O’Keeffe’s nostalgia for Lake George diminished in her later years, after she’d found her spiritual home in Abiquiú, New Mexico; however, letters she wrote in the decade she spent long periods of each year at Lake George convey her feeling of the place’s “perfection.” In fact, in her descriptions of Lake George, no adjective appears more often than perfect. O’Keeffe wrote to a friend, the author Sherwood Anderson, in 1923: “I wish you could see the place here – there is something so perfect about the mountains and the lake and the trees – Sometimes I want to tear it all to pieces – it seems so perfect – but it is really lovely.”

RULE OF THIRDS The rule of thirds is a guideline commonly used in painting, photography, and design. The rule of thirds means that the subject isn’t centered; rather, the main focal point can be to one side or at the top or bottom of the image. It’s a tool to help artists draw the viewer’s eye into the composition, rather than just glancing at the center. Georgia O’Keeffe was aware of this principle, which can be seen in the artwork at left. Lines overlaid on an outline of the painting show how she organized the composition. LET’S TRY IT!

On your sheet of paper or canvas, draw four equally spaced lines, as below. This breaks the space into three horizontal and three vertical sections. The four points where the lines meet are visual “hot spots”— good areas to position things you want the viewer to focus on. When the grid is ready, draw your own unique landscape inspired by O’Keeffe’s love of nature.

RESEARCH CENTER

CELEBRATE NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK, APRIL 8–14, 2O18 This year marks the 60th anniversary of National Library Week. In the mid-1950s, research data showed that Americans were spending less money on books and more on radios and televisions. In response, in 1957, the American Library Association (ALA) devised a plan to encourage people to read; this, they reasoned, would increase the use and support of libraries. One component of their awareness campaign, National Library Week, was born in 1958 with the motto, “Wake Up and Read!” Library Week celebrations occur nationwide in April, accompanied by an annual theme, daily dedications—for instance, National Library Workers Day on the 10th—and an Honorary Chair. For 2018 the theme is “Libraries Lead,” and the Honorary Chair is author Misty Copeland, a principal dancer of the American Ballet Theatre. The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum joins National Library Week with three opportunities to explore the Michael S. Engl Family Foundation Research Center Library, and on Instagram (@okeeffemuseum) with daily posts of collection objects housed in our library. © Georgia O’Keeffe Museum

CONTEMPORARY VOICES As part of an ongoing artistic conversation, the Museum regularly presents contemporary artists in the galleries who have been inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe. Beginning April 28, multidisciplinary artist Michael Namingha’s photographically based work about the Black Place will be on view. Namingha first visited the Black Place in 2017, carrying only one tool: a drone camera. Returning to his studio, he refined and digitally edited the images to create a body of work defined by a spare, contemporary aesthetic. Comparing Namingha’s images with selected paintings of the Black Place by O’Keeffe on view in the galleries—works created in different centuries but inspired by the same remote site—is an opportunity to examine our evolving notions of art and landscape in New Mexico.

Friday, May 4, 5–7 PM First Friday = Join us in the galleries along with Michael Namingha, and create your own drawings while exploring the use of color in modern artwork! First Fridays are free all day to New Mexico residents with ID; members free = Museum galleries, 217 Johnson Street. Registration not required.

The Museum is a partner in an exciting new program that connects regional libraries with terrific Santa Fe experiences. Library patrons in Santa Fe County, Rio Arriba County, and Crownpoint, New Mexico, on the Navajo Nation, can use the new Share The Experience Pass (STEP) card for free admission for up to six people to the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, the Santa Fe Children’s Museum, the IAIA Museum of Contemporary Native Arts, and the Santa Fe Botanical Garden. We look forward to welcoming new patrons of all ages!

ABIQUIÚ GARDEN PROJECT For the fourth year, the Museum continues the work of restoring Georgia O’Keeffe’s garden in Abiquiú. Paid student interns from Española Valley High School and Mesa Vista High School spend 15 weeks planning, tending, and harvesting the garden. This year they will have a variety of new seeds to plant—such as Sandía chile, Ojo Caliente melon, and Waltham butternut squash—thanks to a grant from Native Seeds/ SEARCH. The Community Seed Grants are designed to support the work of educators and those working to enhance the nutritional, social, economic, or environmental health of underprivileged groups in the region, while simultaneously keeping locally adapted crop varieties alive and in active use. Native Seeds/SEARCH is a nonprofit organization working to conserve and promote arid-adapted crop diversity to nourish a changing world. The Museum is thrilled to have received this grant.

WELCOME TO THE O’KEEFFE: WELCOME CENTER After years of planning, the Museum has opened a new Welcome Center on the grounds of the Abiquiú Inn. With an O’Keeffe Museum store, a classroom, amenities, and check-in for tours of the O’Keeffe Home and Studio in Abiquiú, the Center serves as a gateway to the Rio Chama valley, with information about O’Keeffe and the rich history and culture of the area.

Saturday, May 19 11 AM–4 PM The Museum celebrates the grand opening of the O’Keeffe Welcome Center with entertainment, food, art activities, and a ribbon cutting at noon. Members are invited to join the Museum’s Abiquiú neighbors in the celebration!

Security Specialist Dan Nava, a member of the Museum team since 2011, brings a special talent to his work in the galleries. He learned American Sign Language (ASL) as a way to communicate with his hearing-impaired greatgrandson, and now occasionally interprets for Museum visitors when the need arises. Richard Jerome (R.J.) Nava was born deaf, in 2015, and his parents, Emilio and Brandy Nava, were deeply concerned about his future until, at the age of 18 months, R.J. began attending the New Mexico School for the Deaf. His family rallied around the boy, learned ASL at the same time R.J. did, and now the entire family is fluent. Dan has had several occasions to connect with hearing-impaired visitors, including a couple from Japan who were having difficulty translating written English into Japanese, but knew ASL. We appreciate Dan for the extra level of service he brings to our visitors!

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS GEORGIA O’KEEFFE? Two compelling exhibitions featuring Georgia O’Keeffe open in May. The Museum has provided significant loans to these institutions for these exhibitions. SATURDAY, MAY 19–SUNDAY, OCTOBER 28 New York Botanical Garden Georgia O’Keeffe: Visions of Hawai‘i Georgia O’Keeffe conveyed a distinct sense of place with innovative depictions of her surroundings, from stark New Mexican landscapes to New York cityscapes. Yet flowers and plants were subjects that engaged O’Keeffe throughout her career. This landmark exhibition will offer a rare focus on 20 of O’Keeffe’s depictions of Hawai‘i from her nine-week stay there in 1939, works commissioned by the Hawaiian Pineapple Company for an advertising campaign. A lush exhibition in the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory of Hawaiian flora and a display in the LuEsther T. Mertz Library Art Gallery will showcase O’Keeffe’s Hawai‘i paintings, not seen together in New York since their debut, in 1940. These exhibitions will spotlight a transformative experience in the legendary artist’s life, revealing O’Keeffe’s deeply felt impressions and the enduring influence of the Islands’ dramatic landscapes and exotic plants.

SATURDAY, MAY 26–MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 3 Crystal Bridges Museum of Art The Beyond: Georgia O’Keeffe & Contemporary Art

Building on the museum’s collection of significant works by Georgia O’Keeffe—including Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 (1932) and Radiator Bldg – Night, New York (1927)—Crystal Bridges has brought together more than three dozen of O’Keeffe’s most important works as the centerpieces of this unique exhibition. Alongside these iconic artworks by Georgia O’Keeffe, the exhibition also features artworks by a select group of emerging contemporary artists that evoke, investigate, and expand on O’Keeffe’s artistic legacy. The Beyond: Georgia O’Keeffe & Contemporary Art demonstrates the continuing power of O’Keeffe’s works as touchstones for contemporary art, introduces viewers to a new generation of American artists, and provides a fresh look at O’Keeffe through the lens of contemporary art.
