Taking Care of Her Work: On Georgia O’Keeffe & Caroline Keck

In this lecture at the Brooklyn Museum, Associate Paintings Conservator Lauren Bradley traces the lifelong friendship and cooperation between Georgia O’Keeffe and Caroline Keck, her personal conservator.

A pioneer of her field and author of numerous important books, including the classic How to Take Care of Your Pictures, Caroline Keck helped establish the first art conservation laboratory at the Brooklyn Museum, not long after the young O’Keeffe had her first museum exhibition here in 1927. Ambitious and independent, the two women developed a lasting relationship, working together on O’Keeffe’s paintings for almost 40 years. Their friendship, mutually empowering even when they were not in agreement, can be traced through the works of art that they collaborated on. Following the lecture, join Bradley in the Georgia O’Keeffe: Living Modern exhibition galleries, where she will be available to answer questions.
