The
Tours
THE GEORGIA
O'KEEFFE HOME Abiquiu
Participants will have a private, docent led tour of Georgia's
home and garden. You'll see her Kitchen, just as she left
it, with rows of home-dried spices with labels in her hand-writing;
her Painting studio overlooking the Chama River valley;
her extensive Library; her sitting room with original Calder
sculptures and Noguchi lighting; The inner Courtyard with
natural light; the Entrance way decorated with a massive
skull, and her beloved Garden. You can definitely feel her
presence here in the sense of place she created to nurture
her life and creativity.
THE GEORGIA
O'KEEFFE MUSEUM Santa Fe
The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum opened to the public in July
1997, eleven years after the death of the artist from whom
it takes its name. Since then, the Museum has welcomed more
than 1,300,000 visitors from all over the world.The Museum's
permanent collection of over 130 O'Keeffe paintings, drawings,
and sculpture is the largest in the world. Throughout the
year, visitors can see a changing selection of at least
50 of these works. In addition, the Museum presents special
exhibitions that are either devoted entirely to O'Keeffe's
work or that combines examples of her art with works by
her American modernist contemporaries. www.okeeffemuseum.org
THE 'OLD-TIMER'
We have found several people who knew O'Keeffe personally,
and, are willing to sit down with us and share reminiscences.
This is a priceless opportunity for some first-hand glimpses.
Please, no recording permitted.
THE
SKETCHING SITES
We will take
you to 6 of Georgia's favorite painting sites - places she
returned to frequently:
Ghost
Ranch
The Black Place
The White Place
DH Lawrence Tree
The Penitente Crosses
St. Francis Mission Church
THE GERALD
PETERS GALLERY
This is the place to go to see the best selection of O'Keeffe's
Paintings that are available 'on-the-market'. In other words,
for a whole lot of zeros's, you could take one home ! We
will enjoy a Curator led tour of whatever paintings are
looking for good homes. Gerald Peters was the favorite dealer
of O'Keeffe, and any rare paintings not in private collections
or Museums still most likely show up here. |
