Now through January 25, 2004 Photographs by Alfred Stieglitz: Gifts from the Georgia O�Keeffe Foundation Organized by the Georgia O�Keeffe Museum

The Georgia O�Keeffe Foundation has honored the Georgia O�Keeffe Museum with an extraordinary gift of 24 photographs by Alfred Stieglitz (1864-1946), the internationally known photographer and America�s earliest champion of modern art.

The Foundation�s gift to the Museum represents various aspects of Stieglitz�s outstanding achievement. There are 12 photographs of O�Keeffe that range in date from 1917, the year he began photographing her, to 1935, two years before failing health forced him into retirement. Several of these depict O�Keeffe with examples of her art that are now part of the Museum�s collection. Moreover, the gift includes photographs of New York buildings and Lake George trees and architecture, and there are six prints from Stieglitz�s celebrated �Equivalents� series.

February 6 - June 1, 2004 Moments in Time, Photographs by Maria Chabot: An Exhibition in Celebration of the Publication of �Maria Chabot and Georgia O'Keeffe Correspondence: 1941-1949� Organized by the Georgia O�Keeffe Museum.

Chabot was Georgia O�Keeffe�s friend and associate. She spent summers with O�Keeffe from 1941 to 1944 at the artist�s Ghost Ranch house and then oversaw the restoration of O�Keeffe�s Abiquiu house from 1946-1949. This exhibition includes more that 60 photographs taken by Chabot and others of O�Keeffe, the Abiquiu and Ghost Ranch houses, O�Keeffe�s paintings, and the camping/painting trips Chabot and O�Keeffe made together; it also includes examples of the more than 680 letters the two exchanged, which reveal new information about their daily lives and the character of their experiences in Northern New Mexico in the 1940s.

This exhibition has been organized in celebration of Maria Chabot/Georgia O�Keeffe: Correspondence, 1941-1949, edited by Barbara Buhler Lynes and Ann Paden and published by the University of New Mexico Press and the Georgia O�Keeffe Museum Research Center.

June 11 - September 12, 2004 Georgia O�Keeffe and New Mexico: A Sense of Place Traveling exhibition organized by the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum. Columbus Museum of Art: October 1, 2004 - January 16, 2005 Delaware Museum of Art: February 17 - May 15, 2005

This exhibition includes 50 paintings or drawings of 35 sites in New Mexico that O'Keeffe chose as subjects in her work between 1929 and 1951. It also includes recently made photographs of 20 of these sites that capture as faithfully as possible the point of view of them that O'Keeffe presented in her paintings. It is the first exhibition to explore the relationship between O'Keeffe's paintings and the sources that inspired them and the meaning and significance of her New Mexico landscape paintings.

September 24, 2004 � January 2, 2005 In the American Grain Traveling exhibition organized by The Phillips Collection. Curator: Elizabeth Hutton Turner

Beginning in 1907, photographer Alfred Stieglitz began showing modern art at 291, the first of several galleries he owned in New York. From then until his death in 1946, he consistently exhibited and promoted the work of four American modernist painters, Arthur Dove, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Georgia O'Keeffe, and he distinguished himself as America's earliest advocate of modern art. Duncan Phillips, the founder of The Phillips Collection, began collecting works by this avant-garde group of modernist painters, which he saw while attending exhibitions that Stieglitz organized at his galleries. This traveling exhibition, which was first seen at The Phillips Collection in 1995, includes approximately 50 paintings that Phillips purchased from Stieglitz by Dove, Hartley, Marin, and O'Keeffe�artists of the Stieglitz circle�as well as a number of photographs by Stieglitz that Phillips also purchased for the collection.
