What was the title of Georgia O’Keeffe’s 1932 painting sold for a record $44.4 million?

The title of Georgia O’Keeffe’s 1932 record-setting painting is Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1.

The image presents a single white jimson weed flower in close-up. O’Keeffe frequently enlarged flowers so viewers had to confront their shapes, folds, and tonal contrasts rather than treating them as minor decorative details. The work belongs to her important series of flower paintings.

In 2014, the painting sold for $44.4 million at Sotheby’s in New York. Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art acquired it. The title is sometimes shortened in casual discussion, but the full title includes both “Jimson Weed” and “White Flower No. 1.”
