O’Keeffe’s art is currently having a moment. Not Georgia O’Keeffe’s – that’s as popular as it’s ever been. No, I’m talking about the art of her little sister, Ida Ten Eyck O’Keeffe (1889-1961), which scored a huge success at Christie’s last week. Born in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, Ida studied art with the same teacher as her older sister and a younger sister, Anita, in Williamsburg, Virginia, where the family had moved when she was 13.

Early in 2020, I bid on and bought a mid-century modern abstract oil on board painting at auction totally sight-unseen, because it looked like it might be the work of an artist I collect right now. Stupid, I know, for all the reasons and especially stupid because, when I went to collect it, it wasn’t by the artist I collect at all. Instead, it bore a signature that was apparently in a different language.
