Which New York skyscraper did Georgia O'Keeffe repeatedly paint in her early career?

Georgia O'Keeffe repeatedly painted the Shelton Hotel in her early New York career.

The Shelton Hotel, now known as the New Yorker Hotel? No—the Shelton Hotel was a separate Manhattan skyscraper at 49th Street and Lexington Avenue, later called the New York Marriott East Side. O'Keeffe lived there for a period and used its height and views as subjects for paintings of New York architecture.

Her skyscraper works transformed urban buildings into simplified vertical and geometric forms. They belong to the period when she was developing a distinctly American modernist language, combining recognizable city structures with abstraction and dramatic cropping.

The Shelton is easily confused with the Empire State Building or Chrysler Building, both iconic New York skyscrapers frequently represented by artists. O'Keeffe did paint New York architecture, but the building especially associated with her early residence and repeated skyscraper views was the Shelton Hotel.
