Did You Know?

One of the first photographs to enter the museum’s collection was Alfred Stieglitz’s close-up of the hand of his wife, the painter Georgia O’Keeffe.

Description

Georgia O’Keeffe lovingly caresses the spare tire of her Ford V-8 convertible coupe. The image was made during her reunion with her husband—and much beloved car—after an extended convalescence following a nervous breakdown. O’Keeffe had paid for the car herself; for her it was not just a glossy object of consumer desire but symbolized independence and freedom.
