Which institution hosted Georgia O’Keeffe’s first solo museum exhibition in 1946?

The Museum of Modern Art hosted Georgia O’Keeffe’s first solo museum exhibition in 1946.

The exhibition marked a major institutional recognition of O’Keeffe’s career. By that time, she had already built a substantial reputation through gallery exhibitions, especially those organized by Alfred Stieglitz, but a solo presentation at the Museum of Modern Art placed her work in a leading museum devoted to modern art.

The 1946 exhibition also came shortly before Stieglitz’s death. O’Keeffe increasingly developed an independent public and artistic identity, and her later move toward New Mexico subjects became a central part of her legacy.

This event should not be confused with her first gallery exhibition, which took place decades earlier in New York. The question concerns her first solo museum exhibition, not her first public showing of any kind.
