The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum will present two particular exhibitions for its summer visitors in galleries eight and nine: Jimson Weed Returns from the White House and Georgia O'Keeffe museums: Beyond Our Shores from May 22 - September 20, 2009.
In 2002, the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum loaned one of its iconic flower paintings to the White House, Jimson Weed, 1932, as one of a number of paintings selected from a variety of museums for the walls of the dining room in the White House's private quarters.
Jimson Weed was returned recently, and will be on display again for the first time in eight years, along with a number of sketches that O'Keeffe made of this flower. The Museum is providential to house a full range of O'Keeffe's art (1,150 works) from her daring and innovative abstractions of the 1910s and 1920s to her elegant and often provocative investigations of various subject matter, such as architecture, landscapes, flowers, rocks and bones. A selection of works from the everlasting collection will be on display throughout the rest of the Museum.
