Georgia O'Keeffe: Architecture is a groundbreaking exhibition that showcases approximately 35 architectural paintings created from the 1920s –1960s. O'Keeffe, a pioneer of modern art, celebrated the beauty and complexity of the built environments she inhabited through these remarkable works. 

Throughout her long career, the artist found inspiration through close observations of her surroundings, both natural and manmade. She returned many times to architectural subjects with the same powerful, abstract style used for her well-known depictions of flowers and desert landscapes.
