Ritz Tower, 1928 Georgia O'Keeffe (1887-1986)

We create our paintings with museum quality and covering the highest academic standards. Once we get your order, it will be entirely hand-painted with oil on canvas. All the materials we use are the highest level, being totally artist graded painting materials and linen canvas.

We will add 1.6" (4 cm) additional blank canvas all over the painting for stretching.

High quality and detailing in every inch are time consuming. The reproduction of Georgia O'Keeffe also needs time to dry in order to be completely ready for shipping, as this is crucial to not be damaged during transportation.
Based on the size, level of detail and complexity we need 8-9 weeks to complete the process.

In case the delivery date needs to be extended in time, or we are overloaded with requests, there will be an email sent to you sharing the new timelines of production and delivery.

TOPofART wants to remind you to keep patient, in order to get you the highest quality, being our mission to fulfill your expectations.

We not stretch and frame our oil paintings due to several reasons:
Painting reproduction is a high quality expensive product, which we cannot risk to damage by sending it being stretched.
Also, there are postal restrictions, regarding the size of the shipment.
Additionally, due to the dimensions of the stretched canvas, the shipment price may exceed the price of the product itself.

You can stretch and frame your painting in your local frame-shop.

Once the painting Ritz Tower is ready and dry, it will be shipped to your delivery address. The canvas will be rolled-up in a secure postal tube.

We offer free shipping as well as paid express transportation services.

After adding your artwork to the shopping cart, you will be able to check the delivery price using the Estimate Shipping and Tax tool.

The paintings we create are only of museum quality. Our academy graduated artists will never allow a compromise in the quality and detail of the ordered painting. TOPofART do not work, and will never allow ourselves to work with low quality studios from the Far East. We are based in Europe, and quality is our highest priority.

Georgia O'Keeffe's "Ritz Tower," painted in 1928, is a dizzying ode to the soaring ambitions of the urban skyline. Here, the building stands like a shadowed monolith, thrusting upward against the deep cobalt of a night sky. O'Keeffe captures a cold, almost eerie majesty, with the tower looming over the scene as if it could swallow the sky whole. The top of the structure seems to dissolve into the clouds, blurring the line between architecture and atmosphere - an O'Keeffe signature move, making you question where the world ends and her imagination begins.

The tower's windows flicker with patches of gold, like distant stars trapped in the stone. They’re not perfectly aligned, giving the building an oddly organic feel - alive yet silent. Below, the streetlights glow softly, their halos echoed by the soft curve of the moon overhead. O'Keeffe lets this interplay of light and shadow dominate the composition, creating an ethereal contrast between the artificial and the celestial.

Her palette is restrained but bold. The black of the tower is uncompromising, a void against the richness of the blues. Yet, there’s something almost soft about the sky - those pale, rippling clouds like silk, offering a dreamy reprieve from the tower’s stern geometry. She applies paint with that cool confidence of hers, balancing hard, rectilinear forms with a gentle, fluid atmosphere.

It’s all very much about verticality, and yet it never feels rigid. O'Keeffe allows the building to bend the night around it, giving this rigid architectural giant a kind of surreal grace. It’s not just a city scene - it’s a quiet conversation between light, shape, and space.
