What was the title of Georgia O'Keeffe's 1932 painting that broke the auction record for a woman artist in 2014?

Georgia O'Keeffe's 1932 painting Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 broke the auction record for a woman artist in 2014.

The painting shows a large white jimson weed flower against a pale background. O'Keeffe's close-up flower paintings magnified natural forms, encouraging viewers to study their contours and tonal changes rather than treating them as small botanical details.

On November 20, 2014, Sotheby's sold Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 for $44.4 million, including fees. The buyer was the Walmart heiress Alice Walton, who later displayed the work at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art in Arkansas.

The record was notable because it concerned both the painting's price and the broader market for work by women artists. It was later surpassed by other sales, so the 2014 record should be understood as historical rather than current.
