Which gallery first gave Georgia O'Keeffe a solo exhibition in 1917?

The 291 gallery gave Georgia O'Keeffe her first solo exhibition in 1917.

O'Keeffe's first solo exhibition opened at the 291 gallery in New York in April 1917. The gallery was run by Alfred Stieglitz, who had begun showing her abstract charcoal drawings after receiving them through a friend and fellow artist, Anita Pollitzer.

The exhibition was a turning point because it introduced O'Keeffe's early abstractions to a wider art audience. The 291 gallery had already become known for presenting European avant-garde art alongside work by American artists. Its name came from its address at 291 Fifth Avenue.

The gallery closed in 1917, the same year as O'Keeffe's solo show. Stieglitz later operated other galleries, including the Intimate Gallery and An American Place, so those names are sometimes mistakenly given as the site of her first solo exhibition.
