TATE MODERN EXHIBITION GEORGIA O’KEEFFE UNTIL 30 OCTOBER 2016

A rare opportunity to see over 100 remarkable paintings by this pioneer of twentieth-century art

Georgia O’Keeffe is best known for her paintings of magnified flowers, animal skulls, and New Mexico desert landscapes. This exhibition brings together some of her most important works, including Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 1932, the most expensive painting by a female artist ever sold at auction.

Making her debut a century ago, in 1916, O’Keeffe was immediately recognised as a trailblazing artist, while today her legacy as an American art icon and a pioneer of twentieth-century art is widely recognised.

With no works by O’Keeffe in UK public collections this exhibition is a rare chance to see the beauty and skill of her remarkable paintings outside the US.

Men put me down as the best woman painter…
…I think I’m one of the best painters.

O’Keeffe more than holds her own as an American modernist — with the added power of a deep and authentic joy

influential, passionate and often staggeringly good
