What was the name of Georgia O'Keeffe's first solo exhibition in New York in 1917?

Georgia O'Keeffe’s first solo exhibition in New York in 1917 was titled Georgia O'Keeffe.

The exhibition was held at Alfred Stieglitz’s gallery, 291, and featured drawings and watercolors made while O'Keeffe was teaching in Texas. It followed Stieglitz’s discovery of her work through Anita Pollitzer, who showed him a selection of O'Keeffe’s abstract drawings in 1916.

The 1917 show was important because it introduced O'Keeffe’s distinctive early abstractions to a New York art audience. Stieglitz’s gallery was a major venue for avant-garde art and had already presented influential European and American artists.

The exhibition title is easy to confuse with the gallery’s name. “291” identifies Stieglitz’s gallery on Fifth Avenue, while Georgia O'Keeffe was the title used for the artist’s solo show. O'Keeffe later became one of the most prominent artists connected with American modernism.
