Which photographer and gallerist promoted Georgia O'Keeffe’s early work in New York?

Alfred Stieglitz promoted Georgia O'Keeffe’s early work in New York. He first exhibited her abstract charcoal drawings in 1916 at his gallery, without initially obtaining her permission to show them.

Stieglitz was a pioneering photographer and an influential advocate for modern art in the United States. His galleries provided an important platform for artists whose work challenged academic conventions and traditional ideas of representation.

He and O'Keeffe later married in 1924. Stieglitz photographed O'Keeffe extensively, while O'Keeffe developed a painting career that increasingly moved beyond the visual and professional framework he had helped create.

Edward Steichen and Paul Strand were also important figures in American photography, which can make the names easy to confuse. The person directly linked to O'Keeffe’s early New York promotion was Stieglitz.
