September – November 2023

Woodward Gallery

Undoubtedly, Autumn is the best time to reflect upon the past. As we look back this Fall season, Woodward Gallery’s latest exhibition, Famous Faces, features the portraits of iconic individuals who influenced American culture. On display are the memorable countenances of Marilyn Monroe, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Dick Tracy, Richard Hambleton, Albert Einstein, Georgia O’Keeffe, and Pablo Picasso, which honor the unmatched creativity of both the subjects of each work of art and the talented artists who depict them. Prior to the modern, instantaneous era of social media, these figures impacted the world by challenging the unsolvable questions of their times and pioneering their individual fields of work for the better.

Human connection is often made through eye contact. Andy Warhol’s extraordinary portrait of Pablo Picasso is featured in this exhibition, for all to engage with. Find yourself face-to-face with these fabulous portraits at the Woodward Gallery windows, from September to October 2023, or online, through our virtual exhibition room on Artsy and our official gallery website, WoodwardGallery.net.

Some Memories of Drawings 1968

Woodward Gallery is pleased to announce their Summer Exhibition Georgia O’Keeffe: Some Memories of Drawings 1968, Atlantis Editions.


When Artist Georgia O’Keeffe created the actual first drawings published in this limited edition print portfolio she was still unknown. Her drawings, started in 1915, were pure abstractions -among the earliest and most individual manifestations of American Modern Art.  Six of these drawings were part of the original portfolio that in late 1915 was sent to her friend Anita Pollitzer in New York, and presented to Alfred Stieglitz the world-renowned photographer and champion of modern and American art for the first time. “Finally a woman on paper!” he said. In 1916, he exhibited them in his pioneering gallery at 291 Fifth Avenue and proclaimed her genius. This 1916 exhibition was the historical beginning of the career and association O’Keeffe had with Alfred Stieglitz.


Soon after Stieglitz’s death on July 1, 1946, Georgia O’Keeffe would begin another career and association that would continue for over thirty years. She hired a young Wellesley graduate named Doris Bry to be her personal and professional assistant. By 1965, Doris Bry had become O’Keeffe’s exclusive art dealer and agent.


In 1968 under Doris Bry’s imprint of Atlantis Editions, Georgia O’Keeffe personally selected ten of her drawings -two borrowed from the Metropolitan Museum of Art -to represent the range and variety of her work in this medium. During the course of experimental work on the initial publication of these drawings, changes were made by O’Keeffe. For her, these changes enhanced the relationship between the original drawing and the print. Only the Artist herself could have sanctioned such bold changes in composition, in scale, and in tonality. Even at age 81, Georgia O’Keeffe and her memory of drawings were very much intact, from proof to print.


This first edition portfolio simply titled Georgia O’Keeffe Drawings was copyrighted and published in 1968 by Atlantis Editions, New York. Two hundred and thirty editions were numbered and signed by the Artist. These ten drawings were printed in 300-line screen offset lithography at The Meriden Gravure Co. in Connecticut on Rives BFK and Arches Cover paper. In 1974, Atlantis Editions went on to publish a book Georgia O’Keeffe: Some Memories of Drawings detailing the events of this significant first publication of drawings to prints edited by Doris Bry.


Woodward Gallery proudly presents the premier exhibition of these relatively unknown, limited edition prints complete with insightful narratives from the book by O’Keeffe herself.
