O'KEEFFE GEORGIA: (1887-1986) American Artist. A.L.S., with her initial G, one page, 4to (onion skin paper), Abiquiu, New Mexico, 27th May 1963, to her sister Anita. O'Keeffe announces 'The Philadelphia Museum is having a flower show that I think you would enjoy if you get yourself over there', adding 'The catalogue came to me this morning and is quite pretty' and further remarking 'And the Metropolitan has a photograph show. There is a print of me in it - also in the catalogue - I thought you might like to stop in and get [the] catalogue because I am in it and I don't look too bad'. The ink is a little light in places, although perfectly legible, and with a few heavy creases to the upper edge. About VG O'Keeffe, who was married to the photographer Alfred Stieglitz from 1924 until his death in 1946, is known for her paintings of enlarged flowers.
