MINNEAPOLIS INSTITUTE PRESENTS ‘CIRCLING AROUND ABSTRACTION’

AVV 9-28 #714038

MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. — The Minneapolis Institute of Arts will present the exhibition, “Georgia O’Keeffe: Circling Around Abstraction,” on view October 7–January 6.

This groundbreaking exhibition examines for the first time the artist’s distinctive use of the circular motif. O’Keeffe’s approach created energetic compositions that boldly distinguish her work from that of her Cubist-influenced peers. The 44 works on display, including drawings, watercolors, paintings, pastels and sculptures dating from 1915 to the 1970s, track the evolution of O’Keeffe’s use of the circle.

A fully illustrated catalog accompanies the exhibition, which was organized by the Norton Museum of Art, West Palm Beach, Fla.

The Minneapolis Institute of Arts is at 2400 Third Avenue South. For information, 612-870-3131 or www.artsmia.org.
