On Thursday, May 19, the Georgia O’Keeffe Museum nabbed a rare painting by the artist for $3.3 million. The Barns, Lake George, which was offered at Christie’s in New York, depicts a group of structures on the New York property that O’Keeffe shared with her husband, Alfred Stieglitz. Teetering on the edge of abstraction, the 1926 canvas is a significant departure from the floral works and stark Southwestern landscapes typically associated with O’Keeffe.
