What was Georgia O’Keeffe’s first major solo museum exhibition in New York called?

Georgia O’Keeffe’s first major solo museum exhibition in New York was titled Georgia O’Keeffe.

The exhibition was held at the Museum of Modern Art in 1946. It was the museum’s first retrospective devoted to a woman artist, making the event significant both for O’Keeffe and for the institutional history of modern art in the United States.

The retrospective surveyed her work across several decades, including abstractions, flower paintings, city imagery, and New Mexico subjects. It helped establish her as a major American modernist rather than merely as the subject of Alfred Stieglitz’s photographs.

The title is easy to overlook because it simply used the artist’s name. It should not be confused with later exhibitions about American modernism, women artists, or Southwestern art, which were broader thematic presentations.
