First one in Canada in fifty years. I enjoyed it. Anyone else ever seen her work?

2. I saw a major retrospective of her work in Chicago. |
|
Probably 20 years ago. She's one of my favorites.

Never been to a show, but I've seen plenty of her paintings over the years.

There is a good biography "Georgia O'keefe" by Roxanna Robinson that is a very good read. Explains the complex relationship between O'keefe and Stieglitz. The museum in Santa Fe is good. I was in Raleigh a few weeks ago and the museum of North Carolina has the original of "Church at Cibolla" which is one of my favs.
Though she has a huge rep as a southwestern painter, I much prefer her work of New York and Canada, the northern barn series.
