The New York gallery that showed Georgia O'Keeffe's early work was 291.
291 was the gallery operated by Alfred Stieglitz at 291 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. It opened in 1905 as the Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession and was later widely known by its street number. The gallery became an important venue for photography, European avant-garde art, and American modernism.
Stieglitz first exhibited O'Keeffe's drawings at 291 in 1916, helping introduce her work to New York's art world. He organized a larger exhibition of her work there in 1917. Their professional relationship continued through Stieglitz's galleries and publications.
The gallery closed in 1917 after the building's lease ended. It should not be confused with An American Place, another Stieglitz gallery that opened later and represented O'Keeffe. The simple number 291 is the canonical name most closely associated with her first New York exhibitions.
