1000 Museums

Although she was the sister of the famous artist Georgia O’Keeffe and sister-in-law to the gallerist Alfred Stieglitz, Ida O’Keeffe’s career was not supported by either and she has only recently been critically considered outside the lens of her sister’s work. Her paintings feature bold colors and lines and play with symmetry. Later in her career, she increasingly tended toward abstracted forms. Although many of her works are held in private collections, they have recently been gathered for solo exhibitions in museums such as the Dallas Museum of Art and the Clark Art Insitute.
