Which New York City museum gave Georgia O'Keeffe a retrospective in 1946?

The Museum of Modern Art gave Georgia O'Keeffe a retrospective in 1946.

The Museum of Modern Art in New York presented Georgia O'Keeffe: Retrospective Exhibition in 1946. It was a major institutional recognition of her work and made her the first woman artist to receive a retrospective at the museum. The exhibition covered her career across abstraction, enlarged flowers, city views, bones, and New Mexico subjects.

The retrospective opened shortly after Alfred Stieglitz's death in July 1946. O'Keeffe had already achieved significant recognition, but the MoMA exhibition helped establish her as a central figure in American modernism rather than merely as the subject of Stieglitz's photographs. The museum later held another major O'Keeffe retrospective in 1970.

This fact is sometimes confused with her first solo museum exhibition, which was held at the Art Institute of Chicago in 1943. The Chicago exhibition and the 1946 MoMA retrospective were different milestones. The MoMA event is especially notable because of its place in the history of women artists at a major modern-art institution.
