Which Chicago museum hosted Georgia O'Keeffe's first major retrospective in 1943?

The Art Institute of Chicago hosted Georgia O'Keeffe's first major retrospective in 1943. The exhibition surveyed her career and confirmed her importance within American modernism.

The retrospective came after more than two decades of public attention. O'Keeffe had first received sustained exposure through Alfred Stieglitz's New York galleries, and by the 1930s her enlarged flowers, New York imagery, and New Mexico paintings were widely recognized.

The Chicago exhibition was not her first museum appearance, but it was a major career review. O'Keeffe later received retrospectives at institutions including the Whitney Museum of American Art and the Museum of Modern Art. These exhibitions helped establish her as a central figure in twentieth-century American art.
