Which New York museum gave Georgia O'Keeffe her first retrospective in 1946?

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

The exhibition established her as a major figure in American modernism and reviewed the development of her work across several decades. It was organized while O'Keeffe was already widely recognized for paintings of flowers, New York architecture, and the landscapes and bones of New Mexico. The retrospective also helped confirm her importance beyond the label of being Alfred Stieglitz's wife.

A retrospective differs from a single-gallery exhibition because it surveys an artist's career rather than presenting one recent body of work. O'Keeffe continued to receive major exhibitions later, including presentations at museums in the United States and abroad. The Museum of Modern Art is often abbreviated MoMA; it should not be confused with New York's Whitney Museum, another important institution for American art.
