Anonymous donor gives Georgia O'Keeffe painting to Florida Museum -- posted by Florida Fine Art Blog


The Museum of Fine Arts in St. Petersburg, FL just got a new Georgia O'Keeffe painting from an anonymous donor. "The donor is not even a museum member but she loved visiting and her favorite painting was O'Keeffe's Poppy, one of the collection's most beloved works, and wanted the museum to have the one she owned." What an impressive gift to be included with this already substantial art collection. Museums do make acquisitions of their own but it is the generous gifts from donors that make up most museums' collections. GL
