Georgia O’Keeffe More than 80 works by the innovative American artist have come to town thanks to the AGO’s partnership with the Tate Modern. The show features 80 of O’Keeffe’s iconic paintings and also examines her relationships with photographers Ansel Adams, Paul Strand and husband Alfred Stieglitz. Look for O’Keeffe’s floral images, like these Oriental Poppies, but don’t assume they have vaginal connotations – she hated that assumption. This retrospective appears at no other North American gallery, so catch it while you can. To July 30 at AGO. $16.50-$25, time-ticketed. See listing
