Georgia O’Keeffe’s Red Poppy, 1927 was truly one of the paintings most loved from the first Retrospective after her death in 1996 at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. As Director of Retail, we created quality reproductions of her beloved paintings with great care and joy, Red Poppy included. The exhibition traveled on to New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art, San Antonio and The Art Institute of Chicago. Memories of this special tribute to her incredible life and work abound!!
