What was Georgia O'Keeffe's first solo museum retrospective venue in 1946?

The Museum of Modern Art hosted Georgia O'Keeffe's first solo museum retrospective in 1946.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York presented Georgia O'Keeffe: Retrospective Exhibition in 1946. It was the museum's first retrospective devoted to a woman artist, marking an important institutional milestone as well as a major point in O'Keeffe's career.

The exhibition followed decades of work in abstraction, enlarged flowers, cityscapes, and other subjects. It helped establish O'Keeffe as a central figure in American modernism rather than merely as an artist associated with Alfred Stieglitz's circle.

MoMA is sometimes confused with the Whitney because the Whitney mounted another important O'Keeffe retrospective in 1970. The two exhibitions occurred at different institutions and dates: MoMA in 1946, followed by the Whitney in 1970.
