Georgia O'Keeffe Museum

As part of its ongoing Contemporary Voices series, this fall the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum will feature works by artist Josephine Halvorson. Halvorson, a painter from Massachusetts, joined the O’Keeffe in 2019 as the Museum’s first Artist-in-Residence, and spent time at O’Keeffe’s homes at Ghost Ranch and in Abiquiú, New Mexico, as well as at the Museum in Santa Fe. The paintings she has created from her residency respond to natural features found in the landscape and also connect the viewer with domestic snapshots of O’Keeffe’s homes, from her dishes to her keys to her collections of rocks and bones. This striking installation will present a selection of works by Halvorson in dialogue with art by Georgia O’Keeffe.
