Which photographer and art dealer did Georgia O’Keeffe marry in 1924?

Georgia O’Keeffe married photographer and art dealer Alfred Stieglitz in 1924.

Stieglitz had first encountered O’Keeffe’s abstract charcoal drawings through the photographer and gallerist Anita Pollitzer. He exhibited her work at his New York gallery, 291, in 1916, helping introduce her to the American art world. Their professional relationship developed into a personal one, although Stieglitz was substantially older than O’Keeffe.

They married on December 11, 1924. Stieglitz photographed O’Keeffe extensively, producing hundreds of portraits and studies. Their marriage connected O’Keeffe to an influential circle of photographers, artists, writers, and collectors in New York.

The couple maintained separate artistic identities. Stieglitz supported O’Keeffe’s career, but his photographs and interpretations of her sometimes shaped how critics discussed her. O’Keeffe eventually spent increasing amounts of time in New Mexico, while Stieglitz remained based mainly in New York. He died in 1946, nearly four decades before O’Keeffe’s death.
