General Remarks

Whitney Archive indicates, "Note: O'Keeffe says done in 1939. The drawing now owned by the 'young man at Steuben Glass Co.'" Whitney Archive, Downtown Gallery Archive, Abiquiú Notebooks date 1939. Dated 1938 on basis of O'Keeffe letter: "I did the Steuben glass drawing –– was promptly paid for the use of the drawing –– on condition that they be permitted to buy the drawing later if they want it" (O'Keeffe to William Einstein, 19 July 1938, YCAL). Reproduced in Designs in Glass by Twenty–Seven Contemporary Artists (1940). (Source: Lynes, 1999)
