Which museum hosted Georgia O'Keeffe's major 1970 retrospective in New York City?

The Whitney Museum of American Art hosted Georgia O'Keeffe's major 1970 retrospective in New York City.

The exhibition, Georgia O'Keeffe, opened at the Whitney Museum in 1970. It was an important late-career recognition of an artist whose work had already influenced several generations of American painters.

The Whitney was founded in 1930 by Gertrude Vanderbilt Whitney and specializes in American art. Its O'Keeffe retrospective reflected the museum's broader role in presenting major figures from the United States rather than focusing primarily on European modernism.

The exhibition should not be confused with O'Keeffe's later retrospectives at other institutions. Her 1970 Whitney show was especially significant because it brought together work from across her career, including abstractions, flowers, cityscapes, and New Mexico subjects.
