What was Georgia O'Keeffe's first major retrospective exhibition in 1946 called?

Georgia O'Keeffe's first major retrospective exhibition in 1946 was called Georgia O'Keeffe.

The Museum of Modern Art presented the exhibition simply under the artist's name in 1946. A retrospective differs from a single-work show because it surveys an artist's career across periods, subjects, and methods. In O'Keeffe's case, the exhibition brought together her flowers, abstractions, city scenes, and other major themes.

The timing was significant. Alfred Stieglitz, O'Keeffe's husband and early promoter, died that year, while O'Keeffe was becoming recognized independently as a leading American modernist. The museum exhibition helped confirm the breadth and importance of her work.

This title is sometimes replaced in casual references by descriptions such as “her MoMA retrospective.” Those descriptions identify the event but are not the exhibition's simple official title. The 1946 show should also not be confused with later surveys and retrospectives organized after her career continued to develop.
