Title: Georgia O'Beefe
Location: Eleanor Tinsley Park: Allen Parkway at Buffalo Bayou
Artist: Daniel L. Kallio
Sponsor: John and Carroll Goodman

"Georgia O'Beeffe" is based upon the images and paintings of the great American artist, Georgia O'Keeffe. The artist incorporates the subjects O'Keeffe was most noted for - large brilliant flowers, multi-colored desert landscapes, the Chama River Valley and everyday objects she found on her desert walks. Kallio states that O’Keefe took skulls, antlers and shells and elevated them to a level of extraordinary beauty. These images were best suited to the reclining cow where they create a continuous, flowing feast for the eye.

This cow was sold in the live auction conducted by Sotheby's on December 6, 2001 at the Wortham Center.
