Which 2014 auction record-setting Georgia O'Keeffe painting shows a white jimson weed flower?
Answer
Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1
Answer
Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1
Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 is Georgia O'Keeffe's white jimson weed painting that set an auction record in 2014.
O'Keeffe painted the work in 1932, enlarging a single white flower so that its curves and trumpet-like form fill the composition. The painting exemplifies her practice of making close-up natural forms monumental and visually immersive.
In November 2014, it sold at Sotheby's in New York for $44.4 million, including the buyer's premium. That sale made it the most expensive artwork by a female artist sold at auction at the time.
The title is sometimes shortened to Jimson Weed, but the full catalog title is Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1. It should also not be confused with O'Keeffe's iris, poppy, and canna paintings.
