Which 1970 museum retrospective helped establish Georgia O'Keeffe's renewed international reputation?

The Whitney Museum of American Art held Georgia O'Keeffe’s major 1970 retrospective.

The Whitney Museum of American Art presented a major retrospective of O'Keeffe’s work in 1970. The exhibition was important because it brought renewed attention to the full range of her career, including abstraction, flowers, bones, landscapes, and architectural subjects.

The retrospective also coincided with a broader revival of interest in women artists and in artists whose reputations had been shaped by earlier modernist histories. O'Keeffe, then in her eighties, became an especially visible figure for a new generation of artists and critics.

This was not her first museum exhibition, and the Museum of Modern Art also played an important role in presenting modern art in New York. The Whitney retrospective is the specific 1970 exhibition associated with this major late-career resurgence.
