This quote has given me more insight into O’Keefe’s work. Now I understand her better.
I hope to see more of O’Keefe’s work online. I knew of her but had never seen any of her work when I spotted an enormous framed poster of a white flower on a blue background at a thrift store in Nashville TN, fell in love and bought it. That was 20 years ago and it has occupied an honored place in my home ever since. Research online and at my local library established it as an O’Keefe reproduction. The museum does not offer a print of it at this time and I consider it a collector’s item. I would post a photo, but it is in the shop for reframing today. The frame was battered by so many moves! (And I am unsure of copyright, etc.)

I will never get to New Mexico, but I wish they would put her work online. She was unique in her vision and technique and deserves far more appreciation from the world!
