Which Georgia O'Keeffe painting became the first work by a living female artist sold for more than $40 million?

Georgia O'Keeffe's Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 became the first work by a living female artist sold for more than $40 million.

The 1932 painting depicts a large white jimson weed flower against a dark background. It was sold at Sotheby's in New York in November 2014 for $44.4 million, including the buyer's premium. That price established a record for a work by a female artist at the time.

The painting had previously belonged to the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum in Santa Fe. The museum sold it to support its endowment and long-term operations, while retaining other important works by O'Keeffe.

The title is sometimes shortened to Jimson Weed, but Jimson Weed/White Flower No. 1 identifies the specific 1932 painting. It should not be confused with O'Keeffe's other flower paintings, including Black Iris and Red Canna.
