The book " Georgia O'Keefe: Visions of Hawaii ", is in the library system. I checked out Pahoa's copy last Christmas for one of my visiting relatives, who is a big O'Keefe fan. It's in the Hawaiiana section, not in the with the more general art.

Thanks knieft.
It looks like a great exhibition.
There’s also a book with background on O’Keefe’s visit to the islands (different from the book published for the exhibition):

She was notoriously prickly, so at one of the Maui pineapple plantations the manager asked his 12 year old daughter to take O’Keefe around for the tour (presumably, no one else wanted to do it). O’Keefe and the girl hit it off, and their time together may have been one of the highlights of O’Keefe’s visit. That 12 year old is now in her ‘80’s and the book (above) tells the story of her time with O’Keefe.
There’s also another interesting Hawaiiana book available, about 1/2 photos by Ansel Adams, and 1/2 paintings by O’Keefe.
