It got me many times through the years: I’d be walking through Philbrook and think I’d just seen a live woman, standing in some alcove in my peripheral vision, bending over a vacuum cleaner. Then I’d do a double-take and realize (again!) that it was the work of the surprising, delightful, masterful Tulsa artist Otto Duecker. The M.A. Doran Gallery, which has shown Duecker’s work since 1984, has confirmed to The Pickup that the beloved Tulsa artist died Friday, January 23, at age 77.
