Which institution received Georgia O'Keeffe's personal papers and major art collection after her death?

The Georgia O'Keeffe Museum received her personal papers and major art collection after her death.

The museum opened in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 1997, eleven years after O'Keeffe died. It was created to preserve and interpret her art, life, and continuing influence, and it holds the world's largest collection of her work.

The museum's holdings include paintings, drawings, photographs, archival documents, and personal materials. Its collection supports research into both O'Keeffe's finished artworks and the decisions, places, and relationships that shaped them.

The institution is distinct from museums that own individual O'Keeffe masterpieces, such as the Art Institute of Chicago or the Whitney Museum. Those museums have important works, but the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum was established specifically around her legacy and became the principal center for her archive.
