In honor of International Women’s Day, did you know that the AMAM houses the archives for one of the most-celebrated female artists of the 20th century? The AMAM was the first museum to purchase a sculpture, Laocoön, by Hesse, in 1970. In gratitude for its recognition of Hesse’s work, and following the artist’s untimely death, her sister Helen Hesse Charash generously donated the artist’s notebooks, diaries, sketchbooks, photographs, and letters to the museum. These are preserved for research, teaching and exhibition; scholars wishing to view this material may make an appointment in the museum’s Print Study Room.

Happy Birthday, Georgia O’Keeffe!

We regret that we can’t celebrate the birthdays of all of the many artists represented in our Collection (Claude Monet’s passed us by yesterday), but we would like to give a shout out to Georgia O’Keeffe, who would have turned 125 today.

The Albright-Knox owns two works by O’Keeffe: Black Spot No. 3, 1919, which is currently on view in the 1962 Knox Building, and Green Patio Door, 1955, 1955. We also hosted Georgia O’Keeffe and New Mexico: A Sense of Place—a traveling exhibition of O’Keeffe’s paintings and photographs organized by the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum—in 2005. It remains one of our most popular exhibitions to date.
