Georgia O'Keeffe: "My New Yorks" is a 2024 exhibit at the High Museum of Art which says: ""I had never lived up so high before and was so excited that I began talking about trying to paint New York," recalled Georgia O'Keeffe late in life. In 1924 the artist and her husband, Alfred Stieglitz, moved into the Shelton Hotel, then the world's tallest residential skyscraper. The hotel's stunning views inspired O'Keeffe to explore midtown Manhattan's soaring geometries: she experimented across media and scale and with various subjects, forms, and perspectives during an energetic five-year period beginning in 1925. Through these works, which she called "my New Yorks," she investigated the dynamic potential of the cityscape, often depicting it in dialogue with nature to represent her personal perceptions of the built environment."
