What was the name of Georgia O'Keeffe's first solo museum retrospective?

Georgia O'Keeffe was the title of her first solo museum retrospective.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York organized the exhibition Georgia O'Keeffe in 1946. It was the museum’s first retrospective devoted to a woman artist, giving O'Keeffe a major institutional platform during her lifetime.

The exhibition surveyed her work across several subjects and periods, including flowers, bones, landscapes, and architectural forms. Its broad scope helped establish that O'Keeffe was more than a painter of enlarged flowers and situated her work within the development of American modernism.

A retrospective differs from a standard solo exhibition because it typically reviews an artist’s career across multiple years or phases. O'Keeffe had already received important gallery attention through Alfred Stieglitz, but the 1946 MoMA exhibition represented a significant museum-level reassessment. The title was straightforward: it used the artist’s name rather than a descriptive phrase.
