Elizabeth Hutton Turner to Give Talk on Georgia O'Keeffe Nov. 3

October 22, 2009 — Elizabeth Hutton Turner, University of Virginia vice provost for the arts, will give a free public lecture, "Georgia O'Keeffe and a New Line of Vision," on Nov. 3 at 6 p.m. in Campbell Hall, room 153.

Turner is an expert on 20th-century modern art. Before coming to U.Va., she was senior curator at The Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C., for almost two decades. Among the exhibits she curated was "Georgia O'Keeffe: The Poetry of Things," for which she also wrote the accompanying catalog.

She recently contributed an essay in "Georgia O'Keeffe: Abstraction," a catalog that accompanies an O'Keeffe exhibit currently on view at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. She also co-curated that exhibit.

Turner's talk is part of the McIntire Department of Art/Carl H. and Martha S. Lindner Center for Art History fall lecture series.
