When her husband Alfred Stieglitz died in 1946, Georgia O'Keeffe left New Mexico to settle Stieglitz's complicated finances in New York. She wound up having to stay in the city for three years. One of her few paintings from that disruptive period is a memory of her New Mexico home. Spring from 1948 remained in O'Keeffe's private collection until her death. The painting is now in the collection of the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe, and last fall the Museum received a grant for a much-needed restoration of Spring. Head Conservator Dale Kronkright spoke with KUNM about the work he and his colleagues will be doing during that year-long process.
