EXHIBITION
MISSION

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum is dedicated to the art and life of Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986) as well as to the study of an American phenomenon that O'Keeffe was very much a part of and to which she made major contributions--American Modernism--a movement that began in America in the 1890s and continues into the present.

 

The Museum’s comprehensive exhibition program acquaints visitors with the significance of O'Keeffe's art and demonstrates its importance within the context of the history of American Modernism.  O'Keeffe's works from our permanent collection are often on view in the galleries.  In addition, the Museum organizes or hosts the following types of exhibitions, some of which are theme based: (1) works by O'Keeffe from our own and other collections; (2) O’Keeffe’s art shown with that of her contemporaries; (3) the art of O’Keeffe’s contemporaries; and (4) works of living artists of distinction.
