What was the title of Georgia O’Keeffe’s first solo museum retrospective, held in 1946?

Georgia O’Keeffe’s first solo museum retrospective, held in 1946, was titled Georgia O’Keeffe.

The exhibition took place at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It was organized by curator and art historian Dorothy Miller and gave O’Keeffe a major institutional survey during her lifetime.

The retrospective recognized the range of her work, including abstractions, flowers, landscapes, and Southwestern subjects. A museum retrospective differs from a standard solo exhibition because it surveys an artist’s career rather than presenting only a recent group of works.

The exhibition opened shortly after the death of Alfred Stieglitz, who had been an important advocate for O’Keeffe. It helped establish her as a major American modernist in her own right.
