Georgia O'Keeffe
Object type: photograph

Artist: alfred stieglitz
Artist role: fotograaf
Artist nationality: american
Artist dates: 1864 – 1946
Inscriptions: Unmarked recto; inscribed verso, right center, in graphite: Cream [diagonally] [arrow pointing right]; verso, lower center, in graphite: 8 [?/sideways] / K later? / OK / 19E

When Alfred Stieglitz and Georgia O’Keeffe met, in 1915, he was a celebrated photographer who promoted modern art through his publications and galleries and she, 23 years his junior, was just beginning to gain recognition as a painter. A few years later they entered into a passionate affair, and they eventually married in 1924. Stieglitz felt revitalized by the relationship, and in a growing fascination with seriality he produced over 300 photographs of O’Keeffe to form a kind of composite portrait: in front of her paintings, in isolated fragments, and in the intimate poses of a paramour, as seen here. In 1921 Stieglitz exhibited a print of this image at the Anderson Galleries in New York, in a one-person show that included some 40 portraits of O’Keeffe. Years later, when O’Keeffe looked back at the pictures, she remarked, “It is as if in my one life I have lived many lives.”

Dress
Object type: dress
Date: 1750 – 1750
Materials: silk
Culture: british

The suburbs of London, near Bishopsgate, were the scene of a thriving silk industry from the early eighteenth century on. The cloth, used principally for dress material, was made by journeymen weavers in an area called Spitalfields, a name that became synonymous with the silks produced there. Working in a dynamic fashion center so close to the London marketplace, the designers of Spitalfields silks changed their patterns often. In the 1750s, when this dress was made, the silks were patterned with garden flowers arranged on an open ground in curving Rococo forms. The wide hoops then in fashion would have shown these materials to good advantage.
Bronze mirror support in the form of a nude girl
Object type: mirror support, girl with frog
Date: 540 – 530
Materials: bronze

The girl stands on a frog, and the traces of feline feet at her shoulders must have belonged to animals that helped in the support of the mirror disk. She wears a band decorated with a ring and amulets and holds cymbals in her hands. Like the nude female supporting a mirror in an adjacent case (38.11.3), this figure was probably made by a Laconian artist.

Conical coffeepot with an image of The Parasol Lady
Object type: coffee pot
Date: 1736 – 1740
Materials: cobalt, glaze, paint, porcelain
Techniques: firing, turning
Location: china
Artist: Anonymous

Cilindrische koffiepot op een lage voetring, het handvat in een hoek van 45 graden geplaatst ten opzichte van de tuit. Een gewelfd deksel met een knop. Gedecoreerd in onderglazuur blauw met een voorstelling van de Parasoldames naar een ontwerp van Cornelis Pronk (1691-1754). De onderste sectie is gedecoreerd met een honingraatpatroon onderbroken door cartouches met vogels en bloemen. Dezelfde versiering op de deksel.

Bestellingen van theeserviezen met Pronk-decors zijn in de VOC-archieven terug te vinden, maar helaas wordt niet vermeld of daar ook koffiepotten zoals deze toe behoorden. In totaal werden vier serviezen met Pronk-decors tussen 1737 en 1738 naar Nederland verscheept.
De uitvoering van deze koffiepot is opmerkelijk omdat in geen van de cartouches een dame is afgebeeld zoals op de andere voorwerpen met het ontwerp van de Parasoldames. In plaats daarvan is een bloem afgebeeld. Wellicht gaat het hier om een privé-bestelling uit dezelfde periode.
Ook andere ontwerpen van Pronk komen op dit type koffiepotten voor. Het Museum Guimet te Parijs bezit een identieke koffiepot met het Prieel, een ander ontwerp van Pronk.

The Art Institute's Department of Textiles has a distinguished, wide-ranging collection of 221 American coverlets, or bedcovers. A recent donation of six examples of the very rare star work type has strengthened the museum's holdings significantly, as this category was previously represented by only two pieces. This type of coverlet is named for the complex star and diamond pattern which is characteristic of and made possible by the multiple shafts or harnesses employed, sometimes as many as 24.
