Georgia O’Keeffe: Abstraction
Nov 6, 2009

On Monday, October 26, the Whitney CAB (Community Advisory Board) members got an insider tour from assistant curator of the Georgia O’Keeffe exhibition, Sasha Nicholas. O’Keeffe’s work is very vibrant and full of color. Going through the exhibition is like walking through her entire life as an artist from beginning to end. It documents her art in chronological order—from her charcoals and watercolors in the very beginning of her career to pieces like My Last Door, towards the end. The exhibition took four years to organize, and there are a total of 120 pieces in the show.

O’Keeffe’s use of color and the way in which she works create a language for her viewers. It’s as if she is telling a story; and that is exactly what this show communicates: the story of her life. The O’Keeffe exhibition is absolutely remarkable and I recommend that you visit. Come and step into the abstract world of Georgia O’Keeffe!

It was a very exciting day for us CAB members. We are all so stoked to begin giving tours of this amazing exhibition!
