Photographs from the Collection of Georgia O’Keeffe presents a refined selection of photographs by Alfred Stieglitz drawn from the personal collection of Georgia O’Keeffe. Published in conjunction with the 1994 exhibition at Wildenstein Tokyo, the catalogue offers an intimate view into one of the most consequential photographic relationships of the 20th century.

The selection reflects the breadth of Stieglitz’s practice, from his early pictorialist experiments to the increasingly direct and modernist language that defined his later work. His photographs move between atmosphere, abstraction, portraiture, and formal study, illustrating his central role in establishing photography as an autonomous form of fine art.

Particularly significant are the portraits of O’Keeffe, whose image Stieglitz returned to repeatedly over the course of their relationship. Rather than functioning solely as conventional portraiture, these photographs document an evolving visual investigation of identity, intimacy, age, gesture, and the body, creating one of the most extensive photographic records of a modern artist by another artist.

As both an exhibition document and a record of O’Keeffe’s personal holdings, the publication carries a particular archival significance. The collection provides a direct connection between the photographs and the artist who preserved them, placing Stieglitz’s work within the personal and artistic history shared by the two figures.

A significant reference for the study of early modern photography and the Stieglitz–O’Keeffe relationship, and a collectible Japanese exhibition catalogue from the 1994 Wildenstein Tokyo presentation.
