Which museum hosted the 1946 retrospective that established Georgia O'Keeffe as a major American artist?

The Museum of Modern Art hosted the 1946 retrospective that established Georgia O'Keeffe as a major American artist.

The exhibition was Georgia O'Keeffe, organized by curator and art historian Elizabeth McCausland. It was the first retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art devoted to a woman artist, making the event significant both for O'Keeffe and for the history of museum recognition.

The retrospective opened shortly after Alfred Stieglitz died in 1946. Although Stieglitz had played a crucial role in promoting her early work, O'Keeffe's career had already developed far beyond his gallery, and the exhibition presented her as an important artist in her own right.

The Museum of Modern Art, founded in New York in 1929, became one of the leading institutions for modern art. Its O'Keeffe retrospective helped secure her lasting place in the mainstream account of American modernism.
