Sherrie Levine, Abstraction

The Georgia O’Keeffe Museum received support for the exhibition Living Artists of Distinction: Sherrie Levine, Abstraction on view January 26, 2007 through May 13, 2007. The exhibition will feature sculptures, painting, and Iris photo prints directly or indirectly evoking the imagery of Georgia O’Keeffe and Alfred Stieglitz, while exploring an approach to art-making that was fundamental to both earlier artists: abstraction. Levine has been well known since the early 1980s, when she began making groundbreaking, highly innovative works deriving from those of such well known earlier artists as Marcel Duchamp, Walker Evans, Henri Matisse, and Claude Monet.
