Which museum held the first retrospective devoted to a woman artist in 1946, featuring Georgia O'Keeffe?

The Museum of Modern Art held the first retrospective devoted to a woman artist in 1946, and the artist was Georgia O'Keeffe. The exhibition surveyed her work and helped establish her importance within the history of American modernism.

A retrospective differs from a normal exhibition because it looks across an artist's career rather than presenting only a recent group of works. O'Keeffe's 1946 MoMA exhibition was organized after Alfred Stieglitz's death and brought together paintings from different periods and subjects.

The museum is often shortened to MoMA, but its full name is the Museum of Modern Art. The Whitney, Guggenheim, and Metropolitan Museum of Art are also major New York institutions, yet they did not host this particular first retrospective. O'Keeffe later received many other museum exhibitions in the United States and abroad.
