At which New York museum did Georgia O'Keeffe receive a 1946 retrospective?

Georgia O'Keeffe received a 1946 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York presented O'Keeffe's first museum retrospective in 1946. The exhibition was organized by Alfred H. Barr Jr., MoMA's founding director and a major figure in the development of the museum's modern-art program.

A retrospective is different from a regular group exhibition: it surveys an artist's career across multiple periods and bodies of work. O'Keeffe's MoMA show recognized the importance of her abstractions, flowers, city scenes, landscapes, and other subjects within American modernism.

The exhibition took place during a pivotal period. Stieglitz died in 1946, and O'Keeffe soon began spending more time in New Mexico, where she had already found subjects that became central to her mature work. The museum's recognition helped establish her as a major American artist rather than merely a figure associated with Stieglitz's gallery or with flower paintings.
