Which New York institution hosted Georgia O'Keeffe's major 1970 retrospective?
Answer
Whitney Museum of American Art
Answer
Whitney Museum of American Art
The Whitney Museum of American Art hosted Georgia O'Keeffe's major 1970 retrospective.
The exhibition was a landmark recognition of her long career and helped renew public attention to her work. By 1970, O'Keeffe had spent decades developing a personal vocabulary based on flowers, bones, buildings, landscapes, and abstract forms. The retrospective also contributed to renewed interest in her as a major American woman artist.
This exhibition should not be confused with her 1946 retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, which was the first retrospective MoMA devoted to a woman artist. The Whitney Museum, founded in 1930, is especially associated with American art and maintains a major collection and exhibition program in New York City.
