[2] Invoice addressed to Mrs. Edward R. Wehr in MAM object file, with canceled check dated February 14, 1959. MAM catalogue card also states that John Marin Jr., son of artist John Marin, but according to corresponce between registrar and catalogue raisonne researcher Barbara Buhler Lynes in January/February 1994, this is incorrect; Lynes found no records to indicate that Wehr was not the first owner, and registrar thinks that this is a mix-up with the Marin watercolor that Wehr also gave to the museum (M1957.19). See also Barbara Buhler Lynes, Georgia O'Keeffe: Catalogue Raisonné. Vol. 2 (New Haven, CT: Yale University Press, 1999), p. 812, cat. 1291.
