In which New York museum did Georgia O'Keeffe have her 1946 retrospective?

Georgia O'Keeffe had her 1946 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The exhibition was a major institutional recognition of O'Keeffe's career and is widely described as the Museum of Modern Art's first retrospective devoted to a woman artist. It presented work from different stages of her development rather than focusing on one narrow period.

By 1946, O'Keeffe was already known for enlarged flower paintings, abstract works, New York imagery, and paintings inspired by the Southwest. The retrospective therefore helped audiences see the breadth of her interests and the consistency of her formal approach.

The exhibition occurred shortly after Alfred Stieglitz's death, but O'Keeffe's reputation did not depend solely on his support. The museum presentation reinforced her status as an important modern American artist and helped establish a lasting institutional record of her work.
