Join us for “Florine Stettheimer and Georgia O’Keeffe: Alternative Modernists,” part of the Preserving Legacies series from the Wildenstein Plattner Institute and NYU Steinhardt Visual Arts Administration Program, with Barbara Bloemink (lead scholar of the forthcoming Florine Stettheimer Catalogue Raisonné Project) and Barbara Buhler Lynes (Georgia O’Keeffe: Catalogue Raisonné) in a conversation moderated by renowned journalist Julia Halperin.    

Florine Stettheimer and Georgia O’Keeffe are prominent American women modern artists. As friends, they exhibited widely in galleries and museums — and were highly admired by curators and art critics during the first half of the 20th century. Their approaches to artmaking, however, are remarkably different. Bloemink and Lynes will discuss the artists’ relationship, how they controlled their public image, how their work differs and yet reveals a mutual interest in simultaneity, and more. This event will also call attention to published and forthcoming catalogues raisonnés that document all known works by Stettheimer and O’Keeffe.
