What was Georgia O'Keeffe's first painting to sell for more than $1 million at auction?

Georgia O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 became her first painting to sell for more than $1 million at auction.

The 1932 painting depicts a large white jimson weed flower against a dark background. Its monumental close-up treatment is characteristic of O'Keeffe's practice of enlarging natural forms so viewers had to confront their shapes, folds, and tonal contrasts.

At Sotheby's in New York in November 2014, the work sold for $44.4 million, setting an auction record for a female artist at that time. The result dramatically exceeded its presale estimate and brought renewed attention to O'Keeffe's market standing.

The title is sometimes shortened to Jimson Weed, but the full title identifies it as White Flower No. 1. It should also be distinguished from O'Keeffe's many other flower paintings, including her iris and canna series.
