Georgia O'Keeffe's first solo exhibition at Alfred Stieglitz's gallery 291 took place in 1917.
The exhibition presented a group of her charcoal abstractions and established her as a distinctive young modernist. Stieglitz had already shown some of her drawings at 291 in 1916, after receiving them through Anita Pollitzer, but the 1917 presentation was her first solo exhibition there.
Gallery 291, formally known as Little Galleries of the Photo-Secession, was located at 291 Fifth Avenue in New York. It introduced American audiences to European avant-garde art as well as innovative American photography. O'Keeffe's work stood out because of its radical abstraction and strong use of line. The exhibition began a long association with Stieglitz's galleries and helped bring her national attention.
