| Quote | "When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it's your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not."

| Interesting |
Buying an "O'Keeffe" was not only expensive, but a collector needed to meet Stieglitz's (famous art critic and husband of Georgia O'Keeffe) somewhat hazy standards for owning one.
Georgia O'Keeffe rarely signed a painting, but instead would sometimes print an "OK" on the back of the canvas.
