Alfred Stieglitz Presents One Hundred Pictures, Oils, Water-colors, Pastels, Drawings by Georgia O'Keefe, American (Inscribed).
New York: The Anderson Galleries, 1923. Exhibition catalogue. Octavo (two folded leaves). SIGNED by O'Keeffe to front cover, with presentation inscription: "I am sorry you can't come— Hope all is well with you." Scarce catalogue for O'Keeffe's first significant solo exhibition, organized by Alfred Stieglitz at Anderson Galleries in the year prior to their marriage. Robinson speculates that the show attracted some 500 visitors per day. "The whispering that had gone on about her 'uninhibited' work in 1917, and the remarkable photographs of the artist exhibited [by Stieglitz] in 1921, made the event border on the sensational." Featuring a strikingly bare artist statement from O'Keeffe and an excerpt from Marsden Hartley's appreciation of her work. No checklist of the show has been preserved, heightening the bold statement to rear panel: "There is no catalogue. The pictures have no titles, but are numbered and dated. Ninety of the pictures have never before been publicly shown." Two horizontal creases, presumably from mailing; paper remains supple. A remarkable copy of a significant catalogue, with 7 OCLC records located.
