Georgia O'Keeffe's Ladder to the Moon (1958) is on view in our seventh floor collection galleries. 🪜🌙 O'Keeffe wrote, "At the Ranch house there is a strong handmade ladder to the roof . . . One evening I was waiting for a friend and stood leaning against the ladder looking at the long dark line of the Pedernal. The sky was a pale greenish blue, the high moon looking white in the evening sky. Painting the ladder had been in my mind for a long time and there it was—with the dark Pedernal and the high white moon—all ready to be put down the next day." — #GeorgiaOKeeffe, Ladder to the Moon, 1958.
