Georgia O'Keeffe Museum

Georgia O'Keeffe Museum Explore the remarkable life of Georgia O’Keeffe.

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, New Mexico, opened to the public in July 1997, eleven years after the death of the artist from whom it takes its name. Welcoming visitors from all over the world, it is the only museum in the United States dedicated to an internationally-known woman artist.

“I wanted to test the form and shape against the very blue desert sky…It was a very impulsive gesture, but that is how my bone period began.” – Georgia O’Keeffe, 1971.

Georgia O’Keeffe often played with scale and framing in her compositions, offering different ways of looking at the world around us. In this piece, O’Keeffe painted the clear blue sky as seen through the small hole in a pelvis bone.

“It’s cold as blazes. Each day a different soft color—Yesterday a brilliant dark blue—a wild west wind blowing the top of the high surf that had rolled in from the day before…I love it…I was out there alone on the beach for at least two hours every day.” – Georgia O’Keeffe to Dorothy Brett, April 1930.

Georgia O’Keeffe began traveling from New York to the coast of Maine in the early 1920s. During a decade when she divided her time between New York City and the Stieglitz family home at Lake George, Maine served as a quiet respite where she could paint in relative solitude. During one of her early visits, O’Keeffe picked up a set of pastels in Boston on the way to the coast and created several pieces capturing the shifting seascape.

🎨 Visit the Museum during First Friday on June 5 to enjoy extended hours and get a last look at the exhibition before it ends. On the First Friday of every month, admission is free all day for New Mexicans and free for everyone from 5 to 7 PM.

“Well you would laugh at us—we were all packed and got off to the White Place—it is a very beautiful drive over there—and when we got there—there it was—in the light of the low setting sun—a vast area like some thing dead but startlingly alive in its beauty—it is really an amazingly beautiful place…” – Georgia O’Keeffe in a letter to Alfred Stieglitz, July 12, 1944.

“Plaza Blanca,” also known as the White Place, lies nestled in the Rio Chama River Valley, where centuries of wind and water have sculpted white sandstone into tall cliffs and towers. The site’s beauty inspired Georgia O’Keeffe, who painted the white formations against the cobalt blue New Mexico skies.

🔎 If you visit Plaza Blanca, please make sure to register as a visitor with the Dar-al Islam Education Center.
