"O’Keeffe was at once global and insistently, radically local. She embraced what she termed the 'wideness and wonder of the world' and was entirely comfortable making her own place within it, however remote."
— Cody Hartley, Director of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum
In this newly published catalogue, Georgia O’Keeffe, a survey of O’Keeffe’s career and life is presented complete with large color plates of works paired with descriptions and quotes from the artist. The book features key texts by Marta Ruiz del Árbol, Ariel Plotek, Didier Ottinger and Catherine Millet, and also contains a technical studies section with contributions by Dale Kronkright, Marta Palao, Andrés Sánchez Ledesma, and Susana Pérez. Photographs and images of archival material visually tell the story of O’Keeffe’s life and details of O’Keeffe’s paintings provide insight into her artistic process. A well-illustrated biography and useful bibliography round out the book.
