The first major Whitney Museum retrospective of Georgia O'Keeffe's work was titled Georgia O'Keeffe.
The Whitney Museum of American Art presented the exhibition Georgia O'Keeffe in 1970. The retrospective was a major recognition of her career and helped reinforce her standing as a central figure in American modernism.
O'Keeffe was already widely known by then, but the exhibition was significant because it gave a major American museum setting to the full span of her achievement. Her work had moved from early abstractions and enlarged flowers to city scenes, bones, landscapes, and architectural forms.
The exhibition title is sometimes replaced in summaries by descriptions such as “the Whitney retrospective.” The canonical title, however, was simply Georgia O'Keeffe, matching the artist's name.
