Georgia O’Keeffe Exhibition in Fondation Beyeler

The Fondation Beyeler is dedicating its first exhibition of the year to a major retrospective of Georgia O’Keeffe, one of the most important artists of the 20th century. She is an icon of modern American art. The exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler takes a closer look at Georgia O’Keeffe’s unique way of looking at her surroundings and translating them into new and never-before-seen images of reality. “You rarely take the time to really see a flower. I have painted it large enough for others to see what I would see”. This early quote from 1926 has become a recurrent theme in O’Keeffe’s art and life. The exhibition in Basel aims to draw attention to the relevance of O’Keeffe’s bold and radical way of seeing. It is rare to see her work outside the USA and now, after 20 years, we have the opportunity to have a look at her art in Switzerland.

The exhibition opened on the 23rd of January and you will be able to visit it at the Fondation Beyeler in Basel until the 22nd of May 2022.

Georgia O’Keeffe’s is curated by Theodora Vischer, Chief and the exhibition is organized by the Fondation Beyeler, Riehen/Basel, the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, and the Centre Pompidou, Paris, in partnership with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum, Santa Fe.
