Which New York gallery did Alfred Stieglitz open in 1925 to exhibit Georgia O'Keeffe and other modernists?

The story behind the answer

Alfred Stieglitz opened The Intimate Gallery in New York in 1925.

The Intimate Gallery followed Stieglitz's earlier gallery ventures, including the influential gallery known as 291. He used the newer space to show modern art and photography, including work by Georgia O'Keeffe, John Marin, and Arthur Dove.

Stieglitz's galleries were important because they gave American audiences sustained access to modernist ideas and artists. His support helped O'Keeffe gain visibility, although her growing reputation eventually extended far beyond his personal network.

The gallery operated until 1929, when Stieglitz opened An American Place. These names are easy to mix up: 291 was the earlier gallery, The Intimate Gallery was the 1925–1929 venue, and An American Place followed it.
