Which city did Georgia O'Keeffe move to in 1918 to pursue painting?

Georgia O'Keeffe moved to New York City in 1918.

O'Keeffe moved to New York in 1918 after Alfred Stieglitz offered to help her pursue a career as an artist. Stieglitz had already exhibited her abstract charcoal drawings at his gallery, and New York provided direct access to galleries, critics, and other modernist artists.

She lived and worked in New York for many years, including periods when she painted the city's skyscrapers. Her urban paintings show how she transformed modern architecture into bold, simplified compositions rather than treating it as ordinary documentary scenery.

Her move to New York preceded her stronger association with New Mexico. She first visited New Mexico in 1917, before moving east, and later divided her time between New York and the Southwest. Thus both locations mattered, but New York was the city she moved to in 1918.
