Georgia O’Keeffe. Tent Door at Night. 1916. Watercolor on paper. University of New Mexico Art Museum, Albuquerque. Purchase with funds from the Julius L Rolshoven Memorial Fund and the Friends of Art. ©️ 2023 Georgia O’Keeffe Museum/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York Image description: A watercolor painting of an abstracted view from inside of a camping tent looking out into the night. The base and two swooping sides of the tent are painted with inky blue loose brushstrokes, and a dark brown pole cuts through the center of the dusky blue sky outside.

Please join us for our bimonthly program for individuals who are Deaf or hard of hearing. Each program includes a sign language–interpreted private gallery talk focusing on one of MoMA’s exhibitions, along with a wine and cheese reception.

In May, we will explore the exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe: To See Takes Time, featuring multiple series of works in which the artist revisited and reworked the same subjects, repeating and transforming motifs that lie between observation and abstraction. Together with curator Samantha Friedman, we will discuss how drawing in this way enabled O’Keeffe to capture not only nature’s forms but its rhythms.

Interpreting MoMA is free of charge. Space is limited and preregistration is required. For more information or to register, please email [email protected] or call Access Programs at (212) 408-6447.
