GEORGIA O'KEEFFE (1887-1986)

KÜNSTLER BIO ANFORDERNPDF HERUNTERLADEN
 
Cottonwood Tree (Near Abiquiu), New Mexico (1943) by celebrated American artist Georgia O’Keeffe is exemplary of the airier, more naturalistic style that the desert inspired in her. O’Keeffe had great affinity for the distinctive beauty of the Southwest, and made her home there among the spindly trees, dramatic vistas, and bleached animal skulls that she so frequently painted. O’Keeffe took up residence at Ghost Ranch, a dude ranch twelve miles outside of the village of Abiquiú in northern New Mexico and painted this cottonwood tree around there. The softer style befitting this subject is a departure from her bold architectural landscapes and jewel-toned flowers.<br><br>The cottonwood tree is abstracted into soft patches of verdant greens through which more delineated branches are seen, spiraling in space against pockets of blue sky. The modeling of the trunk and delicate energy in the leaves carry forward past experimentations with the regional trees of the Northeast that had captivated O’Keeffe years earlier: maples, chestnuts, cedars, and poplars, among others. Two dramatic canvases from 1924, Autumn Trees, The Maple and The Chestnut Grey, are early instances of lyrical and resolute centrality, respectively. As seen in these early tree paintings, O’Keeffe exaggerated the sensibility of her subject with color and form.<br><br>In her 1974 book, O’Keeffe explained: “The meaning of a word— to me— is not as exact as the meaning of a color. Color and shapes make a more definite statement than words.” Her exacting, expressive color intrigued. The Precisionist painter Charles Demuth described how, in O’Keeffe’s work, “each color almost regains the fun it must have felt within itself on forming the first rainbow” (As quoted in C. Eldridge, Georgia O’Keeffe, New York, 1991, p. 33). As well, congruities between forms knit together her oeuvre. Subjects like hills and petals undulate alike, while antlers, trees, and tributaries correspond in their branching morphology.<br><br>The sinewy contours and gradated hues characteristic of O’Keeffe find an incredible range across decades of her tree paintings. In New Mexico, O’Keeffe returned to the cottonwood motif many times, and the seasonality of this desert tree inspired many forms. The vernal thrill of new growth was channeled into spiraling compositions like Spring Tree No.1 (1945). Then, cottonwood trees turned a vivid autumnal yellow provided a breathtaking compliment to the blue backdrop of Mount Pedernal. The ossified curves of Dead Cottonweed Tree (1943) contain dramatic pools of light and dark, providing a foil to the warm, breathing quality of this painting, Cottonwood Tree (Near Abiquiu). The aural quality of this feathered cottonwood compels a feeling guided by O’Keeffe’s use of form of color.

"Ich fand heraus, dass ich mit Farben und Formen Dinge ausdrücken konnte, die ich auf andere Weise nicht ausdrücken konnte - Dinge, für die ich keine Worte hatte." -Georgia O'Keeffe

Geschichte

Cottonwood Tree (Near Abiquiu), New Mexico (1943) der berühmten amerikanischen Künstlerin Georgia O'Keeffe ist ein Beispiel für den luftigeren, naturalistischen Stil, den die Wüste bei ihr inspirierte. O'Keeffe hatte eine große Vorliebe für die unverwechselbare Schönheit des Südwestens und ließ sich dort inmitten der spindeldürren Bäume, dramatischen Ausblicke und gebleichten Tierschädel nieder, die sie so häufig malte. O'Keeffe ließ sich auf der Ghost Ranch nieder, einer Touristenranch zwölf Meilen außerhalb des Dorfes Abiquiú im Norden New Mexicos, und malte dort diesen Pappelbaum. Der weiche Stil, der zu diesem Motiv passt, ist eine Abkehr von ihren kühnen architektonischen Landschaften und juwelenfarbenen Blumen.

Die Pappel wird in weiche Flecken grünen Grüns abstrahiert, durch die sich die Äste besser abgrenzen lassen, die sich spiralförmig im Raum vor dem blauen Himmel bewegen. Die Modellierung des Stammes und die zarte Energie der Blätter knüpfen an frühere Experimente mit den regionalen Bäumen des Nordostens an, die O'Keeffe schon Jahre zuvor fasziniert hatten: Ahorne, Kastanien, Zedern und Pappeln, um nur einige zu nennen. Zwei dramatische Gemälde aus dem Jahr 1924, Autumn Trees, The Maple und The Chestnut Grey, sind frühe Beispiele für eine lyrische bzw. entschlossene Zentralität. Wie in diesen frühen Baumbildern zu sehen ist, übertrieb O'Keeffe die Sensibilität ihres Motivs mit Farbe und Form.

"Ein Hügel oder ein Baum kann kein gutes Bild ergeben, nur weil es ein Hügel oder ein Baum ist. Es sind Linien und Farben, die so zusammengesetzt sind, dass sie etwas aussagen. Das ist für mich die eigentliche Grundlage der Malerei. Die Abstraktion ist oft die eindeutigste Form für das Ungreifbare in mir, das ich nur in der Farbe verdeutlichen kann." -Georgia O'Keeffe

MARKTEINBLICKE

  • Laut der von Art Market Research erstellten Grafik sind die Marktpreise von Georgia O'Keeffe seit 1976 mit einer durchschnittlichen jährlichen Rendite von 12,7 % gestiegen.

  • Der Auktionsrekord von Georgia O'Keeffe wurde 2014 mit dem Verkauf von Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 für über 44,4 Millionen US-Dollar aufgestellt. Dies ist nach wie vor die höchste Summe, die bei einer Auktion für eine Künstlerin gezahlt wurde.

  • Selbst als O'Keeffes Markt während der Pandemie im Jahr 2020 einen leichten Rückgang verzeichnete (wie in der AMR-Grafik zu sehen), zeigt der globale Index der Auktionsumsätze von ArtPrice, dass O'Keeffe in diesem Jahr von Platz 263 auf Platz 63 der meistverkauften Künstler aufstieg, was veranschaulicht, dass O'Keeffes Gemälde nach wie vor gefragt sind, vor allem im Vergleich zur Leistung anderer Künstler in dieser Zeit.

  • In den letzten 40 Jahren wurden im Durchschnitt nur etwa 4 Gemälde von O'Keeffe pro Jahr versteigert.

O'Keeffe-Museen

  • 43 % der Gemälde von O'Keeffe befinden sich bereits in Museumssammlungen.
  • Von den 616 Ölgemälden auf Leinwand, die O'Keeffe malte, sind weniger als 300 in Privatsammlungen zu finden.
  • Im Laufe der Zeit werden viele der O'Keeffe-Gemälde, die sich derzeit in Privatsammlungen befinden, an Museen vererbt, so dass nur sehr wenige jemals verfügbar sein werden.
  • O'Keeffe malte die Cottonwood-Bäume in Abiquiu zunächst nur zwei Jahre lang, von 1943 bis 1945, und schuf nur neun Gemälde für diese zentrale Serie. Von diesen Gemälden befinden sich 6 in ständigen Museumssammlungen, nur 3 sind in Privatbesitz.
  • O'Keeffes Cottonwood Trees - aus der ursprünglichen Kernserie von 1943-1945 und aus späteren Jahren - befinden sich in führenden Museumssammlungen wie dem Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, dem Butler Institute of American Art und dem Museum of Fine Arts Boston.
