Which 1970 museum hosted the major retrospective that renewed attention to Georgia O'Keeffe?

The Whitney Museum of American Art hosted a major Georgia O'Keeffe retrospective in 1970.

The exhibition helped renew critical and public attention to O'Keeffe after decades of work across abstraction, flowers, city scenes, bones, and New Mexico landscapes. By then, she had become one of the central figures in the history of American modernism.

A retrospective differs from a single-work exhibition because it surveys an artist’s career across multiple periods. The Whitney presentation therefore helped viewers see connections between O'Keeffe’s early abstract drawings, New York paintings, flower enlargements, and Southwestern subjects.

The Museum of Modern Art also displayed O'Keeffe’s work during her career, so it is a plausible mix-up. The 1970 retrospective associated with this milestone was held by the Whitney Museum of American Art.
