The 1946 Museum of Modern Art retrospective was titled Georgia O'Keeffe.
The exhibition made O'Keeffe the first woman artist to receive a retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It was organized by the curator and scholar Dorothy Miller and presented a substantial survey of O'Keeffe’s career.
By 1946, O'Keeffe had already become known for abstract drawings, enlarged flowers, New York skyscrapers, and paintings of the Southwest. The retrospective recognized the breadth of that work rather than reducing her reputation to a single subject.
The exhibition is sometimes confused with later museum retrospectives or with her first solo exhibitions at Alfred Stieglitz’s galleries. The MoMA show was a major institutional milestone and helped confirm her status as a central figure in American modern art.
