Which museum held the first retrospective exhibition of Georgia O'Keeffe's work in 1946?

The Museum of Modern Art held the first retrospective exhibition of Georgia O'Keeffe's work in 1946.

The exhibition, Georgia O'Keeffe, opened at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1946. It was organized by the curator and art historian Alfred H. Barr Jr., one of the institution's key early directors.

The retrospective recognized O'Keeffe as a major figure in American modernism and presented work from several phases of her career. These included abstractions, flower paintings, New York images, and New Mexico subjects.

The show took place shortly after Alfred Stieglitz's death. Although Stieglitz had promoted O'Keeffe for decades, the MoMA retrospective helped frame her achievement independently within the broader history of modern art. It should not be confused with later exhibitions at the Whitney Museum or the major retrospective organized by the National Gallery of Art in 1987.
