Note du spécialiste

The original owner of the present work was the photographer Marjorie Content, who was close friends with Georgia O'Keeffe as well as her husband, the photographer and dealer Alfred Stieglitz. In 1933, Content and O'Keeffe traveled to Bermuda together. In 1934—the year Plant Form-Aloe was executed—Content joined O'Keeffe in New Mexico, producing photographs of both the artist and her home at Ghost Ranch.
