The New Britain Museum of American Art (NBMAA) presents “The Beyond: Georgia O’Keeffe and Contemporary Art,” an innovative exhibition that celebrates the work and legacy of Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986). “The Beyond” brings together over three dozen iconic works by the artist, including floral paintings, cityscapes, and desert scenes, as the centerpiece of a unique exploration that will highlight her continued force as a touchstone for contemporary art.
Drawn from important public and private collections across the country, this exhibition presents paintings and sculpture that span O’Keeffe’s long and prolific career alongside works by twenty emerging artists that evoke and expand upon her artistic language. The NBMAA is proud to be the final and only northeast venue for “The Beyond,” which is organized by Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville, Arkansas, and to feature seven additional works by O’Keeffe that are exclusive to the NBMAA’s presentation.
