Who was Georgia O'Keeffe married to?

Georgia O’Keeffe was married to Alfred Stieglitz. They married in 1924 after a long relationship that began when Stieglitz exhibited O’Keeffe’s abstract drawings in New York.

Stieglitz was a major American photographer, promoter of modern art, and owner of the influential 291 gallery. He helped introduce European avant-garde art to American audiences and championed artists including O’Keeffe.

Their relationship was also extensively documented through correspondence and photographs. Stieglitz made hundreds of portraits of O’Keeffe, while O’Keeffe increasingly established an independent artistic identity rather than remaining known only through his gallery or photographs.

The marriage lasted until Stieglitz’s death in 1946. O’Keeffe did not remarry. Their partnership is sometimes reduced to a career-making romance, but O’Keeffe’s later reputation rests on her own paintings, drawings, photographs, and sustained experimentation across several regions and periods.
