What was Georgia O’Keeffe’s first major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art called?

Georgia O’Keeffe’s first major retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art was titled Georgia O’Keeffe.

The exhibition took place in 1946 and was the first retrospective that the Museum of Modern Art devoted to a woman artist. It surveyed O’Keeffe’s career and confirmed her importance within American modernism at a major international museum.

By that time, O’Keeffe was known for a wide range of subjects, including enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, New Mexico landscapes, and animal bones. Presenting these bodies of work together helped viewers see the consistency of her formal interests across changing subjects.

The title is easy to confuse with later books, exhibitions, or general descriptions of her career because it simply used the artist’s name. The key identifying fact is the 1946 MoMA retrospective and its pioneering institutional status.
