What was the title of Georgia O'Keeffe's 1932 painting that later set an auction record for an artwork by a woman?

Georgia O'Keeffe’s 1932 painting that later set a women-artists’ auction record was Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1.

O'Keeffe painted the large white jimson weed flower in 1932. The work enlarges a single bloom so that its trumpet-shaped petals dominate the composition. It is one of her best-known flower paintings and demonstrates her method of turning a natural form into an imposing modernist image.

The painting sold at Sotheby’s in New York in 2014 for $44.4 million, including fees. That sale made it the most expensive artwork by a woman sold at auction at the time. The record was later surpassed by other women artists, so the historical claim belongs specifically to the 2014 sale.

The title is sometimes shortened to Jimson Weed, but the full catalog title includes White Flower No. 1. The flower itself is jimson weed, also known as Datura, a poisonous plant.
