What was the name of Georgia O'Keeffe's famous flower painting sold for $44.4 million in 2014?

The Georgia O'Keeffe flower painting sold for $44.4 million in 2014 was Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1. The sale took place at Sotheby's in New York and set an auction record for a work by a female artist at that time.

O'Keeffe painted the work in 1932. Its single white flower is enlarged to dominate the canvas, a characteristic approach in her flower paintings. The title gives both the common subject and the numbered designation, which helps distinguish it from her many other paintings of flowers.

The record price is often reported in rounded form, but the full figure was $44.4 million including the buyer's premium. The work's fame therefore rests on two separate facts: its bold floral composition and its prominent place in the history of art auctions.
