No. 606: Georgia O’Keeffe, “Southern/Modern”

Episode No. 606 of The Modern Art Notes Podcast features curators Samantha Friedman and Jonathan Stuhlman.

Friedman is the curator of “Georgia O’Keeffe: To See Takes Time” at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. (Laura Neufeld and Emily Olek also worked on the exhibition.) The exhibition presents works on paper that O’Keeffe made in series. Some of these series informed paintings, several of which are also included. The exhibition is on view through August 12. A catalogue was published by MoMA. Bookshop and Amazon offer it for about $40.

Stuhlman is the curator of “Southern/Modern,” a survey of modernism from artists who were from, worked in, or visited the American South that opens this weekend at the Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia. It will remain on view through December 10. The exhibition is accompanied by an excellent catalogue published by University of North Carolina Press. Bookshop and Amazon offer it for about $30-75.

Air date: June 15, 2023.
