How much did Georgia O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 sell for in 2014?

Georgia O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 sold for $44.4 million in 2014.

The 1932 painting was sold at Sotheby's in New York on November 20, 2014, for $44.4 million including the buyer's premium. The result made it the highest price paid at auction for a work by a female artist at that time.

The large white flower against a dark background is one of O'Keeffe's best-known paintings. It belongs to her long-running series of enlarged flowers, in which close-up views transformed familiar natural forms into bold modern compositions.

The record was later surpassed by other works by women artists, so the 2014 result should be understood as a record at the time, not a permanent all-time record. The title is also commonly shortened to Jimson Weed.
