The Shelton was Manhattan's earliest residential skyscraper, and its dizzying heights inspired O'Keeffe to create a powerful series of approximately twenty-five paintings and numerous drawings over a span of about five years. She called these \"my New Yorks,\" and they overwhelmingly consist of two types of compositions: sprawling observations looking down onto the city and humbling views directed up at the newly built urban monoliths. Exploring the New York skyline, O'Keeffe resisted the approach of contemporaries such as Charles Sheeler and Paul Strand--who celebrated New York as a streamlined, impersonal series of geometric canyons--and instead portrayed it as an amalgamation of the organic and the inorganic, the natural and the constructed. Only in this way could she express New York (in her words) \"as it is felt.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Reshaping our understanding of this pivotal yet underappreciated period in O'Keeffe's storied career, this publication situates the New York paintings within the artist's larger oeuvre and examines how these works reflect narratives of built environments, racialized space, and the politics of place. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Distributed for the Art Institute of Chicago \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Art Institute of Chicago\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (June 2-September 22, 2024) \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHigh Museum, Atlanta\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e (October 25, 2024-February 16, 2025) \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Art Institute of Chicago\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300275759\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216","brand":"Sarah Kelly Oehler, Annelise K.
