What was the title of Georgia O'Keeffe's first solo exhibition at Alfred Stieglitz's gallery in 1917?

The story behind the answer

Georgia O'Keeffe was the title of her first solo exhibition at Alfred Stieglitz's gallery in 1917.

The exhibition opened at Stieglitz's gallery in New York in April 1917. The gallery, known as 291 after its address on Fifth Avenue, had already introduced American audiences to European modernism and innovative American artists.

O'Keeffe's show presented drawings and watercolors, including works connected with her experiments in abstraction. Stieglitz had first seen her charcoal drawings in 1916 after photographer Anita Pollitzer brought them to him, but the 1917 event was her first solo exhibition at his gallery.

This exhibition helped launch O'Keeffe's professional career and began her long association with Stieglitz. It should not be confused with the 1916 group exhibition at 291, which preceded her solo show.
