The Whitney Museum's 1970 major retrospective was titled Georgia O'Keeffe.
The Whitney Museum of American Art presented Georgia O'Keeffe in 1970, giving the artist a major retrospective in New York. A retrospective examines an artist's work across a substantial period rather than concentrating on one isolated series.
The exhibition arrived after decades of artistic activity. O'Keeffe had worked across abstraction, flowers, buildings, bones, and New Mexico landscapes, so a retrospective could show the range of her development and recurring visual interests.
The title was the artist's name, not a separate descriptive slogan. This matters because O'Keeffe is associated with many exhibition titles and museum presentations. The Whitney show helped reaffirm her importance to American modernism at a time when museums were increasingly reassessing the history of modern American art.
