Georgia OKeeffes New York, Studio Voltaire at 30, Martha Jungwirth responds to Goya

Published: June 6, 2024, 11:01 p.m.

This week: we explore the Art Institute of Chicago\u2019s exhibition dedicated to what Georgia O\u2019Keeffe called her New Yorks\u2014paintings of skyscrapers and views from one of them across the East River, which marked a turning point in her career. Sarah Kelly Oehler, one of the curators of the show, tells us more. One of the most distinctive of all London\u2019s contemporary art spaces, Studio Voltaire, is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, and has begun a fundraising drive to consolidate its future, with a gala dinner this week and a Christie\u2019s auction later this month. We talk to the chair of Studio Voltaire\u2019s trustees and a non-executive director of Frieze, Victoria Siddall, about the anniversary and the precarious funding landscape, even for the UK\u2019s most dynamic non-profits. And this episode\u2019s Work of the Week is an untitled painting from the Austrian painter Martha Jungwirth\u2019s 2022 seriesĀ Francisco de Goya, Still Life with Ribs and Lamb\u2019s Head. Based on a work by the Spanish master in the Louvre in Paris, Jungwirth\u2019s painting features in a new survey of her work that has just opened at the Guggenheim Bilbao in Spain. We speak to its curator, Lekha Hileman Waitoller.
