At which museum did Georgia O'Keeffe receive her first major retrospective in 1946?

Georgia O'Keeffe received her first major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946. The exhibition marked a significant institutional recognition of her career and made her the first woman artist to receive a retrospective at MoMA.

By that time, O'Keeffe had already developed a substantial body of work, including abstractions, flowers, New York architecture, and New Mexico subjects. The retrospective presented her as a serious modernist rather than merely as an artist associated with one subject or with Alfred Stieglitz.

MoMA's exhibition helped establish a broad public view of her achievement. It also reflected the growing importance of American modern art in major museums after World War II.

O'Keeffe later became one of the most widely recognized American artists of the twentieth century. The 1946 retrospective is often cited as a turning point because it confirmed her importance within a major international museum rather than only within commercial galleries.
