FROM THE BOARD PRESIDENT

You, the members of the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, are the driving force behind our successes and exciting developments. As chair of the Board of Trustees, I’m thrilled for this chance to thank you in this annual member-appreciation issue of O’Keeffe Magazine. In these pages, I’m also happy to share what’s new and next at the O’Keeffe. Read the piece by Ariel Plotek, the Museum’s Curator of Fine Art, about the Museum’s most recent addition to its permanent collection, Georgia O’Keeffe’s iconic Ritz Tower (1928). One of her rare cityscapes, this dramatic oil painting, an energetic work from her 1920s period in New York, generated a lot of buzz during its premiere weekend in March. If you haven’t already done so, I hope you’ll soon get a chance to see it in its new home in Santa Fe. During Library Week, April 7–13, you can explore more of the O’Keeffe story with our annual special tours of the library archives, as well as special programming. You’ll also get a glimpse of the Museum’s role in the upcoming citywide arts collaboration, Mid-Century Santa Fe. Our related programs will explore the friendship between Georgia O’Keeffe and Alexander Girard, whose work as one of the most influential textile and industrial designers of the 20th century will be featured in an exhibition in Santa Fe’s Museum of International Folk Art beginning in May. Some of our (not so) secret treasures are not our objects but our people. In this issue you’ll meet two of our staff who themselves are dedicated artists: Maggie Lopez, an expert in bone carving as well as groundskeeping; and Peter Grab, security specialist and award-winning painter. The Museum shares the life and legacy of Georgia O’Keeffe through its significant art, creative people, and engaging experiences. Our developments in Santa Fe, Abiquiú, and across the country are thanks to your generous support and enthusiasm. I’m proud to support the Museum’s endeavors, and grateful to have incredible members like you join me in shaping its future. Thank you for being a part of this exciting journey.

NEW ACQUISITION

THE TOAST OF NEW YORK O’Keeffe’s Iconic Ritz Tower Joins the Museum’s Collection The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum is pleased to celebrate the acquisition of Ritz Tower, one of O’Keeffe’s most spectacular city scenes. Painted in 1928, it is a thoroughly modern interpretation of a quintessentially American subject: the skyscrapers that transformed the skylines of cities like Chicago and New York between the end of World War I and the stock-market collapse of 1929. In the context of a gallery devoted to O’Keeffe’s New York years, which she divided between the city and Lake George, this masterwork illustrates the influence of urban engineering and electric light on her modernist vision. Due in part to the popularity of her subjects derived from nature, the importance of the urban environment in shaping O’Keeffe’s art is sometimes understated. From her student days in Chicago and New York (1905–1908) to the period of her life lived with Alfred Stieglitz (1918-1946), the city served O’Keeffe as muse and as a critical point of contact with avant-garde artists and ideas. Even after settling permanently in northern New Mexico, in 1949, O’Keeffe maintained her connection to New York, where she continued to exhibit and seek inspiration and engagement. Having relocated to New York in 1918 to join Stieglitz, O’Keeffe then moved with him between their summer home in Lake George and the city, honing her subject matter and professional identity. It was during this period that she collaborated most closely with Stieglitz, notably in the launching of her series of large-scale flower paintings, beginning with an exhibition at the Anderson Galleries, in 1925. In the winter of that year, she and Stieglitz moved into the Shelton Hotel, a residential hotel that would remain their New York City address for over a decade. For both artists, the view from this perch in midtown Manhattan became a subject of fascination, as they trained their sights on the skyline of the modern metropolis. But the city’s skyscrapers not only afforded spectacular views from their windows; they also became—for such artists as Charles Sheeler and Charles Demuth—quintessentially modern subjects in their own right: totems of American identity, in contrast to the capitals of Europe. As O’Keeffe later recalled, the male artists in Stieglitz’s circle resisted the idea that she, too, might paint

the modern city: “The men decided they didn’t want me to paint New York. . . . They told me to ‘leave New York to the men.’ I was furious!” In all, O’Keeffe would execute only a handful of paintings of skyscrapers, beginning in 1926 with two views of the Shelton Hotel. Like the Shelton, the 42-story Ritz Tower was a residential hotel—the tallest in New York when it opened, in 1927; when O’Keeffe made her painting, in 1928, it was still one of the newest additions to the New York City skyline. The tower’s classically inspired design, with its pilasters, pediments, and large stone fleches directing the eye upward to its pyramidal roof and soaring spire, evidently impressed O’Keeffe. So, too, did the marvels of electric light, from the halo of a street lamp to the alabaster glow of the ascending windows, set here against a streak of moonlit clouds. Of particular interest to our understanding of O’Keeffe’s practice is analysis undertaken by Dale Kronkright, the Museum’s Head of Conservation, who tells a surprising story about the painting’s evolution. Imaging methods used during a technical examination in the Museum’s conservation lab revealed changes that O’Keeffe made during the painting of Ritz Tower. Carefully following her underdrawing of charcoal on white-primed canvas, O’Keeffe first painted the central figure of the tower at night, leaving unpainted areas for windows, street lamps, and the rolling sky. While some windows and lights were added and others overpainted in later stages, the major change was to the central streetlamp. Originally, the streetlamp’s vertical pole had been carefully painted to include, above the glowing glass globe, a graceful arch slightly obscured by a gray glare. Before the paint of the streetlamp pole could dry, however, O’Keeffe wiped away the arch at the top of the pole and repainted the area in a dark, opaque gray. She also wiped away part of the tower itself, creating a narrower, harder edge at the base of the building. This imaginary geometry at the base of Ritz Tower emphasizes the teetering, off-kilter impression of the form as viewed from the street. In joining the Museum’s collection, Ritz Tower fills a critical gap. We are now able to more fully explore the inspiration that O’Keeffe drew from New York City, deeply impressed as she

was—like so many of her contemporaries—by the towering peaks of the city’s skyline. By the decade’s end, these outsized monuments to prosperity and progress would be viewed through the lens of the Great Depression as symbols of hubris. But to O’Keeffe in 1928, the Ritz Tower could be celebrated as a beacon. As she remarked of her rooms at the Shelton: “I realize it’s unusual for an artist to want to work way up near the roof of a big hotel in the heart of the roaring city, but I think that’s just what the artist of today needs for stimulus.” Georgia O’Keeffe would spend the summer of 1929 not in New York but in northern New Mexico, opening her eyes to a new range of motifs. Neither she nor her contemporaries would ever again view the city with the same sense of wonder.

INTERVIEW

ARTIST RESIDENCY This summer, the Museum will host its first artist in residence: Josephine Halvorson. The residency creates an opportunity for an artist to interact with the Museum’s collection and the New Mexico landscape, with an eye to presenting an installation as part of the Contemporary Voices series; Halvorson will be a featured artist in the Museum Galleries in 2020. Georgia O’Keeffe Museum Curator of Fine Art Ariel Plotek spoke recently with Halvorson about her practice and her upcoming residency. Ariel Plotek: Though you now teach painting at Boston University, we met more than a decade ago in Paris. Please share a little about your artistic process, and how it has evolved since then. Josephine Halvorson: Certainly. I’ve maintained a consistent practice, but one which allows for different results. It’s a practice of attention and observation, of looking and being looked at. Making paintings outside, in public, I set up my easel--or something like it--and work directly in daylight, sometimes into the night. It’s a durational practice: looking at something and describing it over time. It’s not about copying so much as it is about translating a sensation; the experience of being in a place and paying attention to something over the course of many hours. It’s not unlike photography, in the sense that a painting’s formation feels like a long exposure, but it’s of course quite subjective in the sense that my hand is really present in everything I do. Making a painting involves sensitivity and touch, but also a certain amount of misinterpretation, or mistranslation. The resulting paintings are, typically, a kind of still life, usually small-to-medium in size. Sometimes they get organized together into a larger composition. But, for the most part, they’re paintings that I can carry myself, which allows me to be on the move. This way of working has taken me to many different places over the years. I think about how painting can be a pretext for new experiences and learning. The year that you and I met--my year in France--was really formative. It was the first time I began working like this in earnest, without the sense of someone looking over my shoulder. As a student in New York, (at Columbia University), I was expected to work in the studio. All through graduate school I was grappling with wanting to paint experientially out of doors. So being in France—alone—that year was so important, because I was able to really hear my own thoughts and not feel so self-conscious.

France gave me the permission to do something that was utterly anachronistic, in the plein air tradition. That was very helpful. Over the years the practice has remained much the same, even as I’ve thought of things in totally different ways. It’s a practice that has helped me understand all kinds of things. Technology, for instance, or at least its effects on me in terms of attention span. And notions of identity, of place and belonging. Overall, it’s been a really generative practice, when I think of the places it has taken me, both literally and conceptually. AP: You just returned from Cuba, preparing work for a project organized by Maria Magdalena Campos Pons for the Havana Biennial. Would this be a good example of the way in which you adapt your practice to a given place? JH: It is a good example, though every place is different. In Cuba, I had a limited amount of time, but with the assistance of the Biennial, I got a head start on research and logistics. There’s a real emphasis on culture and art in Cuba. I was able to speak openly about my work, and people approached me as I was painting to speak to me. AP: O’Keeffe stressed the importance of “taking time to look,” and this is one of the connections I make between her art and yours. I wonder if you can recall when you first encountered O’Keeffe’s paintings? JH: I think the first time was probably in elementary school. Like many children, I was excited about colorful paintings, but looking back now, I think her advice to “Take time to look” would really turn out to be at the root of my practice. And now more than ever, it’s such a critical question: how we choose to use our time. What we choose to look at, and how.

ONLINE As we mark National Library Week, April 7–13, we are excited to share news of the Museum’s first fully publicly accessible library catalog. The online public access catalog (OPAC), or library catalog, is now available from anywhere in the world on any web-enabled computer, tablet, or mobile device. You can find a wide range of unique materials in the collection—not only books about Georgia O’Keeffe and her circle of friends and colleagues, but also resources about northern New Mexico, museum studies, education, art history, and design. One of the OPAC’s most useful features is the ability to easily search O’Keeffe’s personal collection of books. Over 2,000 titles from O’Keeffe’s collection have been catalogued, with more added each month. Many of her books have inscriptions and enclosed letters, notes, and objects, all of which can be read about in the OPAC. O’Keeffe’s personal library comes from both of her New Mexico properties; materials from Abiquiú and Ghost Ranch can be searched separately or together. To browse O’Keeffe’s library online: 1. Go to library.okeeffemuseum.org 2. In the library catalog search bar, click on Advanced search 3. On the Advanced search page, click on the Collection tab 4. Check the box next to one or both of her collections: “O’Keeffe Personal Library, Abiquiu Bookroom” and/or “O’Keeffe Personal Library, Ghost Ranch Library” 5. Click on the green Search button

You can also search for specific authors, titles, and subjects within O’Keeffe’s collections. Online access to information about this material is particularly important, as many of O’Keeffe’s books remain in their original locations in the bookroom of her Abiquiú Home and Studio, and must be requested a minimum of two weeks before a scheduled library appointment. The catalog is powered by Koha, an open-source library software that is in continual development by the national library community, to make it better equipped to handle rapid changes in library services and materials. In addition to improving access to information about library materials of all kinds, updating to the new library catalog offers new tools and features. Sign up for an account and create lists, which you can keep private or share with your friends, or with library staff in preparing for an appointment to use the library. This is particularly useful in preparing to access special collection materials. With the new library catalog, you can: = Access the Museum’s public catalog via any mobile device = Create and manage your own account, including privacy settings for reading and search history = Share favorite books on your social-media accounts = Add your own ratings to titles = Make purchase suggestions online = Search Georgia O’Keeffe’s personal libraries more easily = Create, manage, and share lists of your favorite books = And much more!

While we welcome you to come in and browse our library shelves in the Research Center, by searching the catalog online you will discover much more—our collections are also held in the Abiquiú Welcome Center, and across the Museum’s Santa Fe campus. And don’t forget about all the other online resources! On the catalog’s home page you’ll find links to recommended reading lists, archival collections, and databases such as ARTstor, a database of downloadable images; and JSTOR, an online library of journals, academic e-books, and primary sources. Celebrate National Library Week by visiting us, in person or online, to see more of what’s new! Questions? Comments?

NEW ACQUISITIONS The Michael S. Engl Family Foundation Library recently added three new artists’ books to its collection. Artists’ books are works of art in the form of a book. While books have been illustrated by artists for centuries, the book as a unique art object in and of itself is a more recent development. All three new titles were recipients of the National Museum of Women in the Arts Library Fellows Artists’ Book Program Award. Day by Day, by Natasha Guruleva and Olga Nenazhivina, reflects on connections and relationships in everyday life through verse and artwork. Several handwritten poems are tucked into envelopes facing detailed illustrations. Gwen Diehn’s Helene Kottanner’s Memoirs, inspired by a medieval memoir, is about a friendship between two women from different backgrounds and stations in life. The illustrated memoir unfolds to reveal a 325-inch-long accordion book that was created using woodcuts, letterpress, and watercolor on handmade paper. Everything and Everyone: In the End We Are All One, by Sarah P. Pohlman, employs a double-sided accordion structure that invites readers to explore images and text inspired by forms in nature and human biology, and to consider the interconnectedness of all human beings. Look for Museum programming related to artists’ books later this year.

LITTLE MAGAZINES Little magazines from Georgia O’Keeffe’s personal collection will be on view in the Museum’s library from April to September 2019. Little magazines—periodicals committed to avant-garde and noncommercial writings—began to be published in the late 19th century and continued through the 20th century. As the name suggests, most of these publications operated with little financial support and had short, irregular runs. However, little magazines played a critical role in providing forums for writers who, though now some of our most noted authors and artists, at the time had no outlet for their work. Established publishers and commercial magazines often found writers unacceptable or a risk if they were unknown, or their work was unconventional or experimental. Little magazines helped launch the careers of writers such as Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce, and spread artistic movements such as surrealism and Dada. O’Keeffe owned an impressive collection of important and lesser-known little magazines from the first half of the 20th century, many featuring the work of known friends and colleagues.

Creative Activity

POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE SPACE The composition of a work of art is determined by the use of positive and negative space. Positive space is the area that is the focus or subject of the artwork. For example, in Georgia O’Keeffe’s Ritz Tower (1928), the building itself occupies the positive space—the area of interest that draws our eyes. The negative space is the area around the building: the clouds and sky. Create your own composition using the principle of positive and negative space. Think of something you want the viewer to focus on, while also giving thought to the areas around it. Try drawing just the space and not the object!

CONTEMPORARY VOICES: KEN PRICE June 7– October 27 This summer, as part of our ongoing Contemporary Voices series, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum will host work by Ken Price (1935–2012). After studying ceramics in California and New York, Price received his first major solo show at Los Angeles’s Ferus Gallery, in 1960. By 1966, when the Los Angeles County Museum of Art first featured his work, Price’s ceramic sculptures had earned him a devoted following among critics and artists alike. In 1970, Price moved to Taos, and would maintain a connection to northern New Mexico for the rest of his life. Arranged throughout the Museum’s galleries, Price’s sculptures will be presented in dialogue with the paintings by O’Keeffe that hang nearby. Additionally, a selection of works on paper by Price will be displayed together with watercolors by O’Keeffe. Price’s close ties to the Taos region will be explored alongside O’Keeffe’s depictions of the Southwest, in watercolors executed in Texas, Colorado, and New Mexico. © Estate of Ken Price, courtesy Matthew Marks Gallery.

THE O’KEEFFE VIEWSHED PROJECT New web tool takes a look at the land that inspired O’Keeffe The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum and partners from the Trust for Public Land have launched a trial version of the Museum’s new online feature, the O’Keeffe Viewshed Project. This custom database of information about New Mexico locations represented in Georgia O’Keeffe’s works will allow users to examine O’Keeffe’s art in relation to the lands that inspired those works. A number of these locations are currently vulnerable to development and environmental degradation. The project comprises two web-based tools. One, the 3D Landscape Viewer, pairs site photography with O’Keeffe’s art from the Ghost Ranch region, along with a three-dimensional view of the terrain. The other is the Decision Support Tool, a specialized land database, designed to be used in land conservation, that documents forest roads, recreation trails, wildfire potential, and other details. The Viewshed Project is still in development—online visitors can expect to see changes in the coming months. For a first look, go to gokm.org/okeeffe-experiments/.

MID-CENTURY SANTA FE From May 7 to October 27, Santa Fe’s Museum of International Folk Art (MOIFA) hosts Alexander Girard: A Designer’s Universe. The exhibition, organized by the Vitra Design Museum in Weil am Rhein, Germany, focuses on the textile, furniture, and sculpture designs of Alexander Girard, one of the most influential interior and textile designers of the 20th century. Girard and his wife, Susan, enjoyed a close personal relationship with Georgia O’Keeffe, and they often traveled together. The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, MOIFA, and the Museum of Contemporary Native Arts are collaborating on MidCentury Santa Fe, bringing design and art together with a series of exhibitions and community engagement. As part of the collaboration, the Museum will also host a series of programs, including lectures and family programs. Details of the O’Keeffe’s collaboration events are available at okeeffemuseum.org/mid-century.

IN FULL COLOR EnChroma, Inc., and the O’Keeffe Museum enhance gallery experiences for visitors with color deficiencies. Think of a classic Georgia O’Keeffe painting, and bold colors pop into the imagination. But for people with color vision deficiency, more commonly called color blindness, the dynamic hues of flowers, skyscrapers, and landscapes are limited—not only in O’Keeffe’s creations, but everywhere. That’s why the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum is excited to partner with EnChroma Color Blind Glasses on an innovative collaboration to expand the gallery experience. The EnChroma team creates glasses that aid in color correction for the vision of people with color deficiencies. Beginning May 3, O’Keeffe Museum visitors with color deficiencies can borrow pairs of EnChroma glasses from our Visitor Services team. These guests will have the chance to see O’Keeffe’s creations in the vibrant colors for which her work is famous. To kick off this special collaboration, EnChroma will cohost the Museum’s May First Friday, on May 3, 2019. First Friday attendees can check out creative activities and the science behind color correction. More information about color vision deficiency and EnChroma glasses can be found at enchroma.com.

MARCH 30–JUNE 23, 2019 Georgia O’Keeffe: Art, Image, Style Wichita Art Museum, Wichita, Kansas Georgia O’Keeffe: Art, Image, Style, previously called Living Modern, explores the art, image, and personal style of one of America’s most iconic artists. O’Keeffe was at the forefront of the American avant-garde nearly from the moment she appeared on the scene in New York in the early 20th century. With her paintings, photo portraits, and original clothing, Georgia O’Keeffe offers an intimate glimpse of the artist alongside her art.
