The exhibition is in partnership with the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe.
As well as showcasing the iconic art of Georgia O’Keeffe, one of the most significant American painters of the 20th century, the exhibition will also showcase modernist masterpieces by pioneering Australian artists, Margaret Preston and Grace Cossington Smith.
While they each developed their own individualised styles, the conceptual underpinnings of their work, their shared themes and their approaches to the portrayal of modern life underscore the broader story of how modernism evolved around the world.
The exhibition will open in Victoria, before touring to New South Wales and Queensland.
