Overview

Georgia O'Keeffe, the artist often described as the mother of American Modernism, along with her Australian contemporaries Margaret Preston and Grace Cossington Smith, will be the subject of a four-month exhibition at the Heide Museum of Modern Art.

Running from mid October through to mid February at the gallery in Bulleen, O'Keeffe, Preston, Cossington Smith: Making Modernism has been curated by the team at Heide along with Santa Fe's Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, the Queensland Art Gallery, and the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and will feature more than 30 works by each of the three women created across the length of their respective careers. In doing so, it will showcase both the distinctive styles developed by the artists, as well as the similarities in their subject matter, technique and the ways in which they viewed the world.
