WEST PALM BEACH, FL.- Organized by the Norton Museum of Art, Georgia O'Keeffe: Circling Around Abstraction is the first exhibition to highlight this renowned American painter's individual approach to the issue of abstraction, a stylistic strategy which in many ways preoccupied artists throughout the 20th century. The exhibition brings together fifty-one of O'Keeffe's works to illuminate the various and evolving ways she used circular forms and motifs as the means whereby she organized, simplified, and even energized her compositions. Both the exhibition and its catalogue, with every work illustrated in color, will enhance both popular appreciation and scholarly understanding of the artist's significant contribution to the development of American modernism. After its debut in West Palm Beach, Georgia O'Keeffe: Circling Around Abstraction will travel to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe (May 25 - September 9, 2007) and the Minneapolis Institute of Arts (October 7 - January 6, 2008).
