After its outstanding success at the Tate Modern in London, the retrospective Georgia O’Keeffe opened on November 30, 2016, at Vienna’s Bank Austria Kunstforum. Amid magical Christmas markets and Viennese coffee, Georgia O’Keeffe debuted to an enthusiastic audience at the opening reception and lecture. Representing the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum at the opening gala at the historic Palais Ferstl were Director Robert A. Kret, Head of Conservation Dale Kronkright, and Trustee Feli Funke.

Here at home, exciting programs are featured in the coming months. In Santa Fe, the Museum will host presentations about O’Keeffe’s adventurous peers in both modernism and the Southwest. Two different programs will offer closer looks at the artist’s personal items; visitors can explore her wardrobe over breakfast with our curator, Carolyn Kastner, or share O’Keeffe’s love for rocks through family activities. In Abiquiú, the annual first planting of the garden of the Georgia O’Keeffe Home and Studio will take place in May; and in June, our local interns will begin their work at the historic site. Youth development and outreach are key components of the Museum’s mission, and an affirmation of O’Keeffe’s continuing influence on our world. I’m pleased to welcome Colleen Kelly, our new Senior Director of Advancement and Communication. She comes to us from the McNay Art Museum, in San Antonio, and was formerly the Director of Development at the Museum of New Mexico Foundation. Colleen will undoubtedly be familiar to many of you. This issue of O’Keeffe spotlights our donors, for whom we are very grateful—your dedicated financial support is paramount to the institution’s vitality. Thank you for your participation in 2016, and throughout our first two decades. With your continued generosity, we will continue to preserve, present, and advance the artistic legacy of Georgia O’Keeffe, and to have a positive impact on the lives of our audience. As the weather warms, we hope you will be as energized as we are by this season’s programs and exhibitions. In many ways, O’Keeffe’s influence is in full bloom.
Kind regards,
FROM THE DIRECTOR
Robert A. Kret Director, Georgia O’Keeffe Museum
Dear Members and Friends, Spring is here, and there is much to be excited about at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum. Our 20th anniversary is off to a robust start. The successes of the Brooklyn Museum’s Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern, and the Making Modernism exhibition’s opening at the Queensland Art Gallery, in Brisbane, Australia, have brought new waves of attention from around the world to O’Keeffe’s work and cultural impact. The Tate Modern’s retrospective Georgia O’Keeffe was viewed by more than 350,000 people in London before going on to Vienna; it will make its final stop in Toronto, Canada, opening April 22 and running through July.

RECENT ACQUISITION
GEORGIA O’KEEFFE’S LETTERS TO ANITA O’KEEFFE YOUNG The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum recently added to its collections an archival treasure: a gift consisting of Georgia O’Keeffe’s letters to her sister, Anita O’Keeffe Young. Generously provided by a donor who wishes to remain anonymous, this gift includes 110 letters to Anita O’Keeffe Young written between 1941 and 1976. Many of the letters were sent from Abiquiú, New Mexico, to Anita and to her husband (and Georgia O’Keeffe’s brother-in-law), Wall Street financier Robert R. Young. 8

S P R I N G 2 O1 7
Reproductions: May 17, 1955 letter
A socialite and philanthropist, Anita O’Keeffe Young (1891–1985) was one of Georgia O’Keeffe’s younger sisters. Their correspondence provides insight into the sisters’ close relationship, and into O’Keeffe’s daily life in northern New Mexico. She describes to Anita her home life and love of nature, her work as an artist, and her extensive travels. Some remarkable passages in the letters provide understanding of and context for O’Keeffe’s life and personality. In an example of sisterly support and love dated July 2, 1941, O’Keeffe wrote to Anita and Robert Young after receiving the news of the death of their daughter in an accident:
O’Keeffe wrote to Anita in April 1976, after visiting her in Palm Beach, Florida: As I told you good by [sic], your hand seemed very small and soft—and your cheek too as I kissed you felt so very soft. I wished I could toughen you a little. You seem to live in your house instead of living by this ocean—It never occurred to me to ask you to go out and walk on the breakwater by the ocean— the swimming is fine but the pool seemed a part of the house—and I love the wildness of the ocean. The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum has
a wealth of resources to help us tell Georgia O’Keeffe’s story: her artwork, the two homes and studios that she occupied, her artist supplies, the materials such as rocks and bones that inspired her paintings, her archives, and her personal library. Combined with all of these resources, these letters give us a deeper understanding of O’Keeffe’s life and work. A guide to the collection will be available on the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum’s website in 2017, enabling the public to have online access to digital images of the letters. As part of the Museum’s holdings, the letters themselves will be available to researchers by appointment at the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Research Center.
. . . would you like to come here— It is all so different from what you were accustomed to it might be a good way to adjust yourselves. It is quiet—far away from people you know—wide beautiful country—Is very simple living but I would love to have both of you—and maybe—maybe the differences in everything would help. . . . one has to make’s one’s own life here— Reading—or riding—or driving about the country—Or walking— or just sitting. Anita collected works by her sister, and often O’Keeffe wrote about paintings or works that her sister may have been interested in acquiring. In one such letter, O’Keeffe writes about an artwork that will go to the Youngs, Winter Cottonwoods East V (1954), now in the collection of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum: [17 May 1955.] I have just written the Downtown Gallery to phone you and when they are sure you are there to deliver the painting. If you don’t get it in a few days go get it yourself— it might be safer.—“Winter Cottonwoods East V—1954” Best thoughts to you both—The spring here has been lovely since I am back—the worst winds were over.

Creative Activity
DRAWING In 1912, Georgia O’Keeffe was introduced to an important book of exercises titled Composition, by Arthur Wesley Dow. She was a student at the University of Virginia at this time, and used Dow’s ideas of art structure to form her own style of art. O’Keeffe remained dedicated to drawing throughout her life, creating hundreds of drawings. Let’s be inspired by the art exercises O’Keeffe would have practiced, and have some fun with landscapes!
1. First, draw a landscape that you’ve seen or imagined— be sure to include lots of details!
2. Second, draw this landscape again, but leave out some details. Think of this drawing as a simplified version of your original thought.
3. Now make a third drawing of your landscape, this time changing how it’s arranged on the paper. If you first did a horizontal landscape, switch to a vertical one. If you began with a vertical drawing, now make it more horizontal.
The final landscape drawing should be based on what you decide will make this drawing look best. Details or no details? Horizontal or vertical? Perhaps you’ll choose to make this drawing smaller—or bigger. Congratulations! You are officially an artist making compositional choices in the creation of your own original work of art!

THE PEDERNAL SOCIETY
“It’s my private mountain. It belongs to me. God told me if I painted it enough, I could have it.” —GEORGIA O’KEEFFE
The Pedernal Mountain moved and inspired Georgia O’Keeffe as she studied and painted it from her home and studio at Ghost Ranch. After her death, her ashes were scattered atop Pedernal, as a testament to the bond she felt with the mountain. As Pedernal inspired O’Keeffe, we hope the Pedernal Society will inspire you in your planned giving. We invite you to join this newly formed society, comprising donors who have named the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in their will, trust, retirement plan, life insurance policy, or financial accounts. A bequest of any size will qualify you to join this special group. Your gift will help the Museum fulfill its vision to cultivate memorable, authentic experiences inspired by the life, work, and world of Georgia O’Keeffe. For more information, or if you’ve already named the O’Keeffe Museum in your estate plans, please contact Colleen Kelly, Senior Director, Advancement and Communications, at 505.946.1048 or ckelly@okeeffemuseum.org. The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum cannot provide legal or tax advice. Before making a gift, please consult your attorney or financial planner. AB OVE : Georgia O’Keeffe, My Front Yard, Summer, 1941.
