Which museum gave Georgia O'Keeffe the first retrospective for a woman artist in 1946?

The Museum of Modern Art gave Georgia O'Keeffe the first retrospective for a woman artist in 1946.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York presented Georgia O'Keeffe: Retrospective in 1946. The exhibition made her the first woman artist to receive a retrospective at the institution.

The show was organized by Dorothy Miller, a curator who played an important role in presenting American modernists. By this point, O'Keeffe had already built a major reputation through paintings of flowers, buildings, landscapes, and bones.

The milestone did not mean that women had achieved equal treatment in the art world. O'Keeffe’s career also illustrates the tension between public interpretations of her work and her own insistence on independence. The MoMA retrospective helped establish her as a central figure in American modern art.
