Custodial History
Following Georgia O'Keeffe's death in 1986, materials in the Alfred Stieglitz Collection of Photogravures from Camera work (YCAL MSS 1389) were in the custody of Juan Hamilton until gifted to the library in 2020. Juan Hamilton is an American sculptor and painter who worked as an assistant to Georgia O'Keeffe from 1973 to 1986, during which time he became the executor and principal beneficiary of her estate. Following O'Keeffe's death, much of what was was left to him was turned over to her family's estate and select materials remained in his possession.
