Georgia O'Keeffe had her first solo exhibition at the New York gallery 291.
The exhibition opened in April 1917 at 291, the gallery operated by Alfred Stieglitz on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. It presented a group of O'Keeffe's early abstract works and watercolors.
Stieglitz had first shown some of her work at 291 in 1916 after receiving images of her drawings. The 1917 solo exhibition helped establish her in New York's modernist art community and began a long professional association with Stieglitz.
The gallery was originally associated with the Photo-Secession movement and was later known as the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession. Its address, 291 Fifth Avenue, gave the gallery its familiar name. It should not be confused with the 1913 Armory Show.
