Which New York gallery did Alfred Stieglitz operate from 1925 to 1929 and use to show Georgia O'Keeffe's work?

The story behind the answer

Alfred Stieglitz operated The Intimate Gallery from 1925 to 1929 and used it to show Georgia O'Keeffe's work. The small Manhattan gallery was one stage in Stieglitz's long effort to promote modern photography and modern painting.

Stieglitz had previously run 291, the gallery where O'Keeffe's work first appeared in 1916. After The Intimate Gallery closed, he opened An American Place in 1929. O'Keeffe exhibited through these changing venues, and the sequence can be confusing because all three spaces were closely associated with Stieglitz.

The Intimate Gallery emphasized a relatively small circle of artists and was sometimes nicknamed “The Room.” Its years overlapped with O'Keeffe's growing recognition and with her increasing interest in New Mexico. Naming the gallery precisely identifies a particular period in Stieglitz's career rather than treating all of his exhibition spaces as one institution.
