Which 1970 museum exhibition helped establish Georgia O'Keeffe's major retrospective reputation?

The 1970 Whitney Museum exhibition was titled Georgia O'Keeffe.

The Whitney Museum of American Art in New York presented Georgia O'Keeffe in 1970. The exhibition was a major retrospective and helped confirm her position as one of the central figures of American modernism.

A retrospective differs from a focused single-subject show because it surveys an artist’s career across periods and bodies of work. O'Keeffe’s exhibition could therefore present her early abstractions alongside flower paintings, New York views, and New Mexico subjects.

The 1970 retrospective was also important in the history of women artists in the United States. O'Keeffe had already achieved recognition, but the museum’s presentation placed the breadth of her work before a major national audience. The title was her name, not a regional or thematic phrase.
