What was the title of Georgia O'Keeffe's painting that sold for $44.4 million in 2014?

Georgia O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 sold for $44.4 million in 2014. The painting set a record for the highest price paid at auction for a work by a female artist at that time.

O'Keeffe painted the large white jimson weed flower in 1932. The work presents a single trumpet-shaped bloom against a dark background, using close-up scale and simplified forms to make the flower feel monumental. It was part of her continuing exploration of flowers as subjects for modern painting.

The painting was sold at Sotheby's in New York in November 2014. The winning price, including the buyer's premium, was $44.4 million. It was purchased by the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, founded by Alice Walton, and entered that museum's collection.

The price is often discussed alongside O'Keeffe's flower paintings, but it does not mean every O'Keeffe flower work has the same market value. The title is also distinct from Black Iris III and other paintings that use similarly close-up botanical imagery.
