Label TextDan Budnik is a photographer known for his portraits of artists. Here, he depicts one of the most iconic artists of the twentieth century: Georgia O’Keeffe (1887-1986). O’Keeffe sits in the corner of the photograph, with a house plant next to her and Mobile, a sculpture by Alexander Calder (1898-1976), hanging above. As viewers, we might wonder, what is the significance of these objects and their placement?

Not only is this an artist photographing another artist in her home, but it also references the friendship O’Keeffe had with Calder. This serves as a visual example of the way artists form friendships and share artworks with each other.
