Through Jan. 25, the University of Iowa Stanley Museum of Art has on international loan and display in its galleries an acclaimed early painting by American artist Georgia O’Keeffe — marking a rare opportunity for Midwesterners and a “culturally significant moment” for the region.
Guests to the museum will have the opportunity to meet and talk with all the artists in one place and to buy works of art in all shapes, sizes and disciplines. Artists will be selling paintings, prints, functional work, stained glass, collage, fiber art, textiles, jewelry and notecards.
The 40 works of art provide a compelling snapshot of the innovative printmaking happening in Mexico, and in Oaxaca in particular. The newly acquired works will be the subject of a stand-alone exhibition at the CRMA in the near future.
