More information
Philanthropists Anne and John Marion, part-time residents of Santa Fe, founded the Museum in November 1995. The Museum opened on July 17, 1997 and welcomed more than 600,000 visitors in its first three years. It is the only art museum in the world dedicated to the work of a woman artist of international stature. The Museum's permanent collection of O'Keeffe's work is the largest of any museum in the world. With more than 3,000 works in the collection and 1,149 paintings, drawings, and sculptures by O'Keeffe, the Museum's holdings represent the largest repository of her work available to the public in a single institution. Subjects range from the artist's iconic flowers and bleached desert skulls to nudes, landscapes, cityscapes, still lifes, and abstractions, dating from 1901 to 1984.
