MORE THAN a decade after the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art opened in 2011 in Bentonville, Ark., I found myself wondering if more art, culture and good food had followed in its wake. Founded by Alice Walton , daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, and designed by convention-flouting architect Moshe Safdie, the museum turned a spotlight on this southern city in the Ozarks. Named for the spring that feeds the two ponds that flank it, the museum holds work by artists such as Mark Rothko, Andy Warhol and Georgia O’Keeffe.

☆ Line Dancing Toward Euphoria

On the night of April 17, a crowd of 20- and 30-somethings, many of them queer, packed into Georgia Room, a Georgia O’Keeffe-inspired nightclub at the Freehand Hotel in Manhattan. They were there to drink and dance, but they hadn’t paid $25 each to grind or freestyle. More than 300 people — some in cowboy boots and 10-gallon hats and biceps-exposing denim vests — turned out for the sold-out event. The evening’s draw was Stud Country, a queer line-dancing and two-step class and party that usually takes place in Los Angeles. There, the event draws regulars and curious newcomers every Monday and Thursday to Club Bahia, a Latin joint in Echo Park.
☆ Georgia O’Keeffe, ‘Modernized’ by MoMA
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Roberta Smith | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In the spring of 1946 the Museum of Modern Art mounted its first solo exhibition of a female artist: a retrospective devoted to the work of the American painter Georgia O’Keeffe. O’Keeffe’s success owed much to Stieglitz’s promotion, especially his eroticized reading of her paintings of landscapes and semiabstract flowers as expressions of female sexuality. By 1929, O’Keeffe was quite well-off, thanks to Stieglitz’s efforts. Yet for nearly 80 years after O’Keeffe’s MoMA retrospective, the museum didn’t pay her much attention. Since 1946 its O’Keeffe holdings has risen lackadaisically to 13 works, including five from the artist’s foundation and bequest in the mid-90s.
☆ Georgia O’Keeffe Beyond the Canvas

New York and CincinnatiGeorgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986), the modernist doyenne of the American Southwest, is having a big moment right now. But with small things. O’Keeffe is being celebrated not for the large, suggestively sensual flower paintings for which she is best known, and whose blown-up scale turns viewers into hovering insects; nor for her pared-down, arid oils of animal skulls and New Mexico’s desert landscape. Instead, both an exhibition of her works on paper and one of her photographs present relatively unknown, behind-the-scenes and more intimate sides of the artist—offering us windows into her home and private life, her sources and studio practice.
