Unexpected O'Keeffe: The Virginia Watercolors and Later Paintings emphasizes an understudied period of the artist’s development. The exhibition is a catalyst for new scholarship on this period in O’Keeffe’s life through a graduate seminar led by Elizabeth Hutton Turner, professor of modern art at the University of Virginia.
