In which city did Georgia O'Keeffe first meet photographer Alfred Stieglitz?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe first met Alfred Stieglitz in New York City. Their meeting occurred in 1908 at Stieglitz’s gallery, 291, which was an important center for modern art and photography.

Stieglitz later exhibited O'Keeffe’s abstract drawings at 291 in 1916, initially without her knowledge. The exhibitions helped establish her reputation in the New York art world and brought her work to wider attention.

Their professional relationship became personal. O'Keeffe and Stieglitz married in 1924 and remained together until his death in 1946, while maintaining a relationship that included extensive correspondence and artistic collaboration.

O'Keeffe had studied in Chicago and New York before meeting Stieglitz, but those earlier educational connections should not be confused with the location of their first meeting.
